RECAP: Benetton v Sharks

READERS’ FORUM: Welcome to our live coverage of the rescheduled United Rugby Championship Round 10 match between Benetton and the Sharks in Treviso.

Benetton has had a poor run in the URC, recording a solitary victory since the end of November.

But their only loss at home in any competition since March was against the Ospreys earlier this term and they have only tasted defeat once in nine previous encounters against South African opponents in the URC.
