The Bulls parade in Piazza dei Signori Treviso “launches” the most awaited match

by admin

Saturday at 6.30 pm Italy against South Africa, once the thousand tickets have sold out, there are only 250 left. Herbst: “It will be a real battle”

Treviso

6 pm, Veneto, Treviso, Piazza dei Signori. The good parlor of the Marca is ready to serve as the backdrop tonight for the official launch of the most awaited match for many years, not only in Monigo, but probably by all of Italian rugby. Rainbow Cup final, Benetton against Bulls, Italy against South Africa, Northern Hemisphere against Southern Hemisphere. Two parallel lines destined to meet, Saturday at 6.30 pm, after an exciting and unexpected path for the green-and-whites – returning from a disappointing season in Pro14 and then went on to prevail in sequence against Glasgow Warriors, twice with Zebre, Connacht and Ospreys, the latter due to resignation due to Covid – more consistent for the Pretoria Bulls, relentless in their group against Lions, Stormers and Sharks, except for the only defeat of measure (34 to 33) in the second leg at home of the Lions. The Bulls, who arrived in the city in the late afternoon yesterday, will stay at the Maggior Consiglio until Saturday, with a couple of training sessions planned at the Ghirada before the team-run set on the grass of Monigo for Friday. First, however, the gala greeting wanted by the mayor Mario Conte. Meeting of the two teams in Piazzetta Aldo Moro today at 18, precisely, with the mayor, flanked for the occasion by the president of the Veneto Fir Committee, Sandro Trevisan: the players will parade in compliance with the distancing rules up to Piazza dei Signori, presented by Federica Zille of the official broadcaster Dazn.

About 45 minutes the overall program, which will also see the interventions of Amerino Zatta for the Italian side and the CEO of the Bulls Edgar Rathbone for the guests.

Once the thousand tickets initially available have been sold out in a very short time, thanks to the derogation granted by the undersecretary, Valentina Vezzal, since yesterday there are another 250 admissions allowed, which can only be purchased on the Ticketone circuit.

“I expect a battle from every point of view”, the South African second line and former Bulls Irné Herbst, the unmovable pivot of the Treviso pack, frames the comparison. «We will have to balance their physicality in the best possible way, setting up a good scrum and a good job in the lineout, finding maximum reactivity in the trocar. Playing this final is incredible for the club, for the players and for the staff, for many of the group it will be the last match with this shirt and we all want to do well for them too. We are excited and we will give everything we have to make our fans and all Italian rugby proud ».

Regardless of the outcome, it will be a double record Saturday for the Bulls: on the one hand the first, historic, final of the tournament, on the other the almost contemporary debut (kick-off two and a half hours before against Western Province) in the Currie Cup 2021, in an overlap that has not found any understanding on the part of Sarfu.

Also considering the absences of the nationals Springboks and Under 20, already retiring for their respective international commitments, an extra element to make the Saturday appointment, for which a large screen will be set up in Piazzetta Trentin, an unrepeatable appointment with destiny. –
