Franco Smith has, as usual, prepared carefully for this difficult game against the Irish team putting in the starting XV some players already seen in the Leinster game, but also some new faces.
The Head Coach has also at disposal five of the 15 players committed to the RBS 6 Nations Tournament.
The change in the backline is not only the return of Tommaso Iannone as a starter, but also that of centre Alberto Sgarbi, who reaches his 99th cap with the Treviso team.
But there are also other players who will reach an important milestone in their commitment with Benetton Treviso:
before the kick-off, Augusto Allori will enter the pitch alone to celebrate his 100th cap reached in Swansea against the Ospreys.
And also the Italo-Argentinean prop Pedro Di Santo will reach his 150th cap.
With him, in the front row, will be Matteo Muccignat and hooker Franco Sbaraglini.
The locks will be the experienced pair of Antonio Pavanello and Corniel Van Zyl, and Marco Filippucci, Benjamin Vermaak and Paul Derbyshire will play in the back row.
The big changes compared to the latest match, are the half-backs: Fabio Semenzato will be the scrum-half and Willem De Waal will be the fly-half.
