Overview
- The Stormers sit top of the URC on 19 points with four wins from four to open their best-ever start.
- Springbok No. 9 Cobus Reinach has linked up with the squad in northern Italy after a post‑Rugby Championship break and could debut against Benetton on Saturday.
- Selection remains unsettled, with coaches yet to confirm Reinach’s role and whether Sacha Feinberg‑Mngomezulu or Damian Willemse will be rested.
- Director of rugby John Dobson wants the side to curb overplaying and be more direct, noting solid lineout, maul and defensive returns.
- Benetton have edged the Stormers in their past two Treviso meetings and have been strong at home this season, underscoring the tour’s big test.
