Benetton Rugby stands up to the Sale Sharks: the friendly ends 19-28

by admin

The British passed in front of the 1,500 of Monigo, the Lions scored with three goals

TREVISO. Three goals scored, and four conceded, also risking the fifth but closing in attack, with the last available energy, to mend the gap. The first of the new Benetton of the “deb” Bortolami is a more than dignified defeat, against the Premiership semifinalist Sale. It ends 19-28

The Lions of the new course have held the field, without giving in even with the babies. First responses: Bortolami does not mind a slightly more standing rugby, even in defense to slow down the opponent’s maneuvers, and his hand can already be seen in the re-propositions around the pack, among the most effective things together with the defense on drives (3 turnover ). Cover behind to be reviewed, at least for Coetzee, but also on the air game a certain unease continues. Much better the impacts and the will (Riera very proactive, Lucchesi brilliant also in ruck, dynamic Nicotera).

Scrum put under twice, but that is recovered: and in any case all the three goals are both born from penaltouche. The first two, which keep Treviso ahead, with a drive from Lucchesi first and a combination from the close between Cannone senior (two brothers in the fray in Treviso, from annals) and Lamaro. A beautiful trocar scheme saw Albornoz’s deep incursion, with Riera pivot, but then Sperandio did not widen and Cannone junior lost the ball 8 meters from the white line. It would have been an opportunity to overtake, given that the British, with a break and feint by the half-way down Quirke, had impacted at 12 and passed with the transformation of Wilkinson, nephew of Sir Jonny.

In the second half, a whole new team, and immediately Menoncello in evidence, overflowing on the physical level. Oscar of bad luck to Drudi, immediately on the ground and went out for a blow to the head. Sharks on the run with the third try, on a quick play from touch. But the premises are dreamy: Treviso in trouble, indeed very discovered first on English tactical football and then on Wilkinson’s cross. A nice progression in the maul was wasted in front of the English goal, without looking for the trocar with a lot of space offshore.

Too bad we didn’t see Rhyno Smith triggered, and not even the Marin Padovani Menoncello setback line at zero kilometers. At a distance Treviso was struggling to get back in the attack, indeed had to unravel another hank in defense (1 stolen touch). And the staff will not like the three kicks remedied for tackles high in the neck, two almost consecutive. The match ended with the square goal of Sale, on the assault of the pack. But Treviso, after the inferiority for the yellow to Marin, closed ahead, and Marin “wet” the green-and-white scoreboard transforming Nicoetra’s goal, from a drive.

Bortolami has deployed all available. Yet on closer inspection, Herbst and Steyn, Ferrari and Faiva, Gallo and Halafihi, Brex and Morisi were still missing …. There is really plenty of choice this year.
