It was played today twentieth day of the championship rugby A league 2023/24. In the Group 1 the Milan derby was won by ASR by just one point over Cus Milano, a derby characterized by overtaking and counter-overtaking in a fiery finale, the Turin derby was less balanced with Cus passing to Settimo Torinese, Biella and Parabiago doing well. In the Group 2 hard-fought challenges both in the top rankings and in the fight for survival, the cadets’ derby smiles at Viadana who triumphs over a Petrarca who is the most highly rated on paper. Badia wins the salvation challenge with Patavium and reaches 30 points, +5 from Patavium and +7 from Valpolicella. In the Group 3 the big teams win and everyone involved loses in the fight not to be relegated, unexpected knockout of the Capitolina in Civitavecchia. Napoli Afragola can celebrate staying in Serie A.
