TOBY BOOTH’S WELCOME MESSAGE 5

This week we welcome Benetton Rugby to the Swansea.com Stadium for a huge fixture in our BKT URC campaign.

Benetton are where they are in the table by no fluke, they play a very expansive game, similarly to Italy’s national team. We’ll need your backing from the stands to get behind the boys and give them an extra boost in what will be a tough game.
