Filo Paulo:
"I am really excited to be joining Benetton Treviso. Moving to the club will represent a fresh challenge on and off the field and the opportunity to experience a new culture was something that really appealed to me. I know about the club having played against them on a number of occasions now and Treviso is a very beautiful place. I know the club have a proud history, they are a big part of Italian rugby culture and they have a strong group of talented players so I will be working hard in order to deliver my very best rugby."
