The goal of the number 8 with 5 ‘from the end decides the derby (20-25), and the Lions are at the top of the Pro 14 Rainbow Cup
PARMA. The last leg, at 78 ‘, is the good one. Palombella di Ruzza for Zanon, deep break, ruck and 3 against 1 from the close, where Brex accommodates Halafihi, who was gigantic yesterday, in goal. This time, in the Cesarini area, Treviso is not c … avolate (thanks, corrector). The Lions have learned to manage the final ball in hand without squandering everything, they are no longer those of the Pro 14.
Even if … Even if the ancient defects were about to cancel a clearer victory than the scoreboard said, after a crazy derby, full of anxieties (Pescetto on the ground after tackle on Halafihi, 15 ‘break), interruptions and comebacks, Tmo and stitched and stitched wounds. True, Benetton? Duvenage and his teammates had spent 30 ‘in attack, with an advancing pack, and scoring only 7 skimpy points, – Ruzza’s seal after Halafihi’s huge percussion – with at least 4 badly worn balls at 3 meters.
A crafty Halafihi managed frantically; a forward; the usual supernumerary mess; horrendous passages. The Zebras, in apnea in front of the goal line, thanked. And do we want to remember another 2 touches lost by Benetton at 5 meters? The extreme bulwark was Di Giulio, with 3 capital bailouts, one on Brex and 2 on Tavuyara, still running in. It seemed the usual script, all the more so when Canna in the third zebra-striped attack in the second half, crushed in goal after a nice flick with feint between Duvenage and Garbisi, added movement on the ground and sliding of the oval towards the white line, endorsed by Tomo Roscini because Piardi had not seen. Roscini, shortly before, had not wanted to reward Hayward’s flash to mock Boni under the “h:” not total control of the ball “, textual. Mah.
The 20-20 would have been manna for the Parma citizens, and a liar as seen on the pitch, but also proof of the managerial ignorance of the Lions. Good that there was the peremptory ring of a mature XV, finally aware of not being able to make mistakes again. A success that weighs more than what the ranking says – Lions at the top for a night in Europe: how much the bonus would have been, because the desire to redeem the two defeats with the Zebras could be read on the tense faces, and the final liberating party is was the proof, after a time of ordeal in closed. Lions overwhelmed with kicks (5 out of 10) and yellow (Gallo and Els in sequence after the half hour), all because Alongi did not really keep Fischetti. The young man left at 27.
And despite this, Benetton in front 3-7, thanks to Padovani’s goal in the fifth phase with two consecutive breaks by Garbisi over the advantage. But the fort finally gave way, on a technical goal given by Piardi due to the collapse of the maul (Sisi had scored in double movement): 10-7. But in the meantime Riccioni was arranging things up front, the “black hole” department of the green-and-white vintage. And in fact, in 13 against 15, Treviso managed the remnant of the fraction, and Garbisi equalized on the pitch, punishing a ducal foul on Ruzza’s percussion.
It was the character of Crowley’s XV who prepared the revenge, at the worst moment (only 7-3 for the Zebras the double yellow duty). In fact, inertia changed and parity was re-established: Garbisi’s 10-13 was the viaticum for the dominion of Treviso, which trembled only from a foul by Mori on Ioane who was chasing a double grubber from Canna. For once, first.
