Benetton aiming to end 10 year drought
- 1169
It’s a big game in Treviso on Saturday in terms of the play-off race, with Benetton and Munster lying sixth and seventh in the table respectively, with just a point between them. The Italians are on a real roll, having won six games on the bounce in all competitions.
History is against them when it comes to this fixture, as they haven’t beaten Munster since September 2013, but they have the winning habit right now, so could this be the moment for them to end their 13-match losing streak against the men in red?
Their Argentinian fly-half Tomas Albornoz is likely to be a key figure for them if they are to come out on top. He has an 89 per cent success rate with kicks at goal - the highest of anyone who has taken more than 20 shots - while he has also beaten the second-most defenders (27).
