Benetton Treviso v Leicester

[tigermad]

Leicester travel to Italy this weekend to start their Heineken Cup campaign against a fast improving Treviso outfit. A few changes likely after the loss to Saracens yesterday and Leicester should get the win.

should do Philip. I hope for 4 tries.

A TBP win is definitely not an assurance. Treviso have beaten Scarlets, Leinster and NG Dragons at home this year.

But I think we can go in confident of a win with a number of players returning to the side.

Looking forward to the trip. It will be a tougher test that the past games and to get a BP win will take effort against a good Treviso side.

I expect it to be closer than in the past going into the last 15 - 20 mins which is when I believe Tigers' fitness will tell. If we have scored at least 2 tries by then I believe we will get the 4 try bonus.

Ciao TrevisoSportshire

Welcome to the Forum

I like the idea of the wine tasting!

Can you let us know some more details about the potential bus tour please? - Our party needs to get back to Milan mid afternoon to catch the plane back home so hopefully it will be a relatively early start

Looking forward to another great weekend in Treviso. Really appreciate the offer of the free bus tour around the Prosecco Hills on the Sunday as we don't fly back to Stansted until 22.30. Please can you give us more information about it

Grazie

I think I would pick:

Murphy
Hamilton
Hipkiss
Smith
Tuilagi
Twelvetrees
Youngs
Stankovich
Hawkins
Castro
Slater
Skivington
Croft
Woods
Waldrom

Chuter, White, Cole, Mafi, Newby, Grindal, Flood/Ford, Amorosino.

My only concern there would be lack of cover at centre without throwing Ford in. Problem solved if Floody makes the bench however.

As we are not flying back to EMA until Monday, count us in. Sunday was going to be a day in Venice but you have mentioned one of my wife's favourite words ... prosecco.

[TrevisoSportshire]

Thanks for your welcome!

So, the bus will leave Treviso Sunday morning at 10:00, just in front of the train station. Then you'll have some local product tasting in Tarzo, a small village in the Prosecco hills, home of a local chestnut festival, very typical in this period. After that we'll bring you to Serravalle, one of the historical towns that formed the city of Vittorio Veneto, for some spare time to eat something and/or a free guided visit. Then we'll come back to Treviso in the afternoon, more or less at 16:30. You don't need to book it, just come at 10:00!

If you need some more information about this trip and what to do in our area, Saturday you'll find me and a hostess inside the stadium. You'll recognise us because of our red inflatable house! Yes BJ, we're just a step ahead from the Prosecco tasting area...

[MurphysLaw]

Now I'm getting very jealous!
The game, touring hillside villages with prosecco sampling, as well as Italian hostesses in red inflatable houses...oh you lucky things.
Enjoy
