Benetton veteran Dewaldt Duvenage says the Lions’ first visit to Treviso will be made less daunting by Andries ‘Boeboes’ Coetzee sharing his experience of Stadio Monigo with the tourists.
“For us, it’s really important to have great depth in every position,’ Duvenage said. ‘We are losing a big amount of players to the national team, so quality overseas players are really important. However, since then it has been lean pickings for the Italians against South African opposition, with four straight losses in the Vodacom URC.
The last time Benetton met the Emirates Lions was at Emirates Airline Park in April and the hosts rallied in the second half to win 37-29.
