Speaking ahead of Benetton, assistant coach Ricardo Loubscher says he is pleased to have the four-time international back in the fold, especially with the leadership qualities he brings.
“It’s just nice to have him back, he brings a different energy and leadership. He’s hungry to perform and help us get a good result,” he commented
“We had a proper look at the Zebre game. We’re creating the right pictures and opportunities; it’s all about execution,” Loubscher explained.
“It was pleasing to see the tries we scored, which speaks to our DNA. But you can’t just run from everywhere; it’s about being smart and building the right platform.
The Italians are fresh from a home victory against former champions Glasgow Warriors in Round 2 and will look to continue that moment against a Lions outfit searching for their first win of the competition.
“They’re a quality outfit with a lot of internationals. Defensively, they bring huge fight, they try to hold you up, slow you down and force mistakes. They play a Test-match style of rugby.
“Our game management will be crucial; we have to make sure we are getting into the right areas and then taking our chances,” he concluded.
