Benetton, Niccolò Cannone towards Ulster: “We want to tire them with our fast rugby”

There are 4 days left until the end of the URC regular season, and Benetton awaits a very difficult away match: the green and whites will go to Belfast to challenge Ulster, who are themselves embroiled in the fight for qualification for the playoffs.

“It will be a very tough match, but we know it well. We will go there to play our game and be as concrete as possible, especially in the static phases. Dominating scrums, touches and drives will be fundamental. They have a very heavy package, they are really big and big and we want to tire them out, even with our fast rugby” Niccolò Cannone told Treviso’s “La Tribuna”.

Benetton is awaiting 4 away games in a row: Ulster, the Challenge Cup semi-final in Gloucester and then the tour of South Africa against the Sharks and Bulls, before URC’s last match at home against Edinburgh: “We will prepare these matches one after the another, but focusing only on what is to come. Now we are focusing only on Ulster, then we will prepare the next one. We will show up in Belfast with a great desire to succeed” explains Cannone.

The victory over the Dragons came despite a reshuffled lineup: “Our strength lies in our great internal competitiveness. We are around sixty quality players, which raises the level of training and creates a winning environment.”

Even in the success against the Welsh, however, there were things to improve: “We could and wanted to score more tries. These are the little things that need to be put right and which – we hope – will allow us to score more often in the future” concluded Cannone.
