Più che Aminu io credo che la vera sorpresa potrebbe essere Spagnolo. Forse deve ancora lavorare un po' in chiusa, ma per la sua mobilità, la capacità nel bd e nell'1v1 mi ricorda tanto il Fischio.
Una ventata di novità a pilone sinistro servirebbe eccome! Ho grande fiducia in Spagnolo, Rizzoli e Aminu.
Riuscissimo anche a trovare un nuovo tallonatore non sarebbe male

Da non sottovalutare che il Top14 è iniziato da un pezzo, quindi sulla carta Perpignan doveva essere già rodata e con ritmo partita
Si, stesso discorso che, pur avendo perso, valeva per le Z con Oyonnax, che oltretutto in difesa è più solida di Perpignan. Comunque, con le dovute differenze e i diversi obiettivi, si vedono segnali positivi per entrambe
A chi interessa, acquisti e cessioni delle 12 squadre.
Your team-by-team guide to the 16 sides in the BKT URC
Benetton Rugby
The team from Treviso have gone well in pre-season with three straight victories, including wins over Ulster and Perpignan, while new recruits Malakai Fekitoa and Paolo Odogwu will add potency behind the scrum.
Star turn:
Michele Lamaro - The Italian skipper leads by example with his tireless endeavour in the mould of another inspirational back row captain of the Azzurri, one Sergio Parisse.
Rising talent:
Tommaso Menoncello - It was a real shame the 21-year-old missed the World Cup with a bicep injury because he is such a threat with ball in hand either in the centre or on the wing.

The only way is up for the Italians, given they finished bottom of the table last season without a single league win to their name. They have really shaken up their squad with a major turnover in personnel in a bid to change their fortunes.
Star turn:
Jake Polledri - If he can put his wretched luck with injuries behind him and stay fit, the dynamic Azzurri back row could make a real impact following his arrival from Gloucester.
Rising talent:
Simone Gesi - The 22-year-old winger is an absolute flyer. So fast and so elusive. Made his Test debut for Italy earlier this year and has a bright future.

Al presidente della federazione gallese non li piace tanto il rugby italiano.
Q: How do we ensure players play high quality rugby at the regions so they can peak by the Six Nations?
NW: "If you look at the quality of the URC, if you look at the South African teams, if you look at the Irish teams, and the Scottish teams aren't too shabby either. If you look at Leinster who have been the standard bearers that's pretty top quality whatever side they put out.

Fino a poco tempo fa era in tour con De Gregori. Adesso non so

Ritirato
Davvero?
Non ho mai visto la notizia da nessuna parte. Peccato, anche se va detto che le sue opportunità le ha avute.
Avevo letto da qualche parte ma non trovo più l'articolo. Cmq, un giocatore di 26 anni, dotato di grande mole, bravo negli offloads, insomma un bel ball carrier che lascia la squadra con un anno di anticipo rispetto alla scadenza del contratto...non lo capisco proprio. Buona fortuna.

mi pare che venditti non abbia mai avuto la testa giusta per fare il professionista ad alto livello o sbaglio?
Qualsiasi attività intraprenderà in futuro, spero per lui che la affronti con uno spirito diverso da quello che ha messo nel rugby
