It’s nice to be able to give something to the community and to the children in Italy, I think their development from a motor point of view from an early age is very important, not only to play rugby, but to play sports in general. The energy you find in children also reminds me why I play rugby, catch the ball and play with your friends is exciting. Moreover, playing rugby also matures important values ​​for your life. Furthermore, after the pandemic, this initiative is fantastic, which allows physical activity to be carried out again, a healthy activity of playing with your peers and which gives prestige to Benetton ».

On the 27th we start playing again. “I think it’s like in the preseason, when it focuses specifically on individual development. It’s about working hard, recovering physically and being ready to return to the pitch. We are also working intensively off the pitch, studying and analyzing our playing strategies. We can’t wait for the break to end to return to play the new part of the championship ».

The Challenge Cup starts in mid-December. «We are also excited to start the Cup, in which we also play against the French and the English. For us, a new competition is stimulating to measure ourselves against new opponents, even if we will have two more URC games first. They will be very important matches against two Scots: after four weeks of rest we will have to be ready for every appointment ».
