Treviso v Zebre: Guinness PRO12 preview
Last Updated: 03/01/16 1:40pm
Zebre will be looking for their third straight win of the season when they travel to Stadio Monigo to take on Treviso.
Zebre have won five games already this season but are still looking for their first away win and it may well come against winless Treviso.
"We are confident but we know that it will be a tough challenge against a wounded Treviso team," said Zebre Rugby team manager Andrea De Rossi.
"When you approach this kind of game you need to have a mental strength that goes beyond the technical aspects.
"We come to this game with a great mental strength, demonstrated in the last minutes of the game in Parma. We have not given up and we believed in the win until the end supported by a large audience: an important element that we hope will always repeat itself."
