MANTUA – On Sunday at 3.30pm it’s time for the derby with Scaligera Verona. For Rugby Mantova it will be the opportunity to break the deadlock and win the first victory in the promotion pool. So far, in fact, in the seven days played, the red and whites have shown a lot of intensity and application, but without managing to achieve a success. Rugby Mantova certainly needs continuity within the match to be able to beat Scaligera and gain important satisfaction in the third to last match of the season.
In the promotion pool, the Veronese recovered from defeats 7-5 against Riviera (42-31 in the return match), 23-10 against Bassano (24-5 in the return match), 23-10 against Calvisano, 26-12 with Mirano. The only victory was against Rugby Mantova 19-15, with the red and whites coming very close to completing the comeback towards the end of that match.
Thus coach Matteo Avanzi: “After three days away, we finally return to Migliaretto. Despite the many unavailability and absences due to injury, we are keen to do well in front of our fans. We want the first victory in this second phase, giving our all and trying to make life at La Scaligera complicated.”
