Spritz and Scrums is back! It's been a wild final home weekend for both Italian URC clubs. Benetton pull off one of their most memorable results in years, beating a fully-loaded Leinster side with the last kick of the game — their first home win over Leinster since 2010 — in front of a sold-out, record-breaking crowd Meanwhile, Zebre suffered heartbreak, conceding a late try to Dragons in an 18-19 loss that summed up a season of near-misses. We also bid farewell to some huge departures, reflect on the highs and lows of Benetton's wildly inconsistent season, celebrate Tommy Allen's signing for Zebre, and round off with a brilliant Italy Women's Six Nations win over Scotland. All that, with our usual blend of passion, spritz, and mild existential crisis.00:00 – Intro & Benetton Beat Leinster Reaction02:28 – The Historic Win: First Home Win vs Leinster Since 201005:37 – Match Breakdown & Emotional Atmosphere08:26 – Farewell13:14 – Benetton's Season of Inconsistency17:32 – The Gaslighting Continues: Peaks & Troughs20:22 – Zebre vs Dragons: Heartbreak in the Final Minute23:22 – Tommy Allen Signs for Zebre25:33 – Zebre's Season Review & Departures27:49 – Italy Women Beat Scotland 41-1431:14 – South Africa Fixtures & End of Season Hosted on Acast.

We break down Benetton's 15-45 home defeat to Munster including a bittersweet milestone for Seb Negri on his 100th cap and relive Zebre's heartbreaking 30-31 loss away at Edinburgh, where they were arguably robbed by one of the worst penalty reversals you'll ever see.We talk about what went wrong, what (little) went right and what to expect in the final home games of the season.00:00 Intro & Welcome00:20 Season Check-in: Where Are We?02:02 Benetton vs Munster Recap03:51 Seb Negri's 100th Cap10:31 Zebre vs Edinburgh Recap17:45 Try of the Season – The 46th Minute Wonder Try21:15 What Made Coach Mad This Week24:35 Any Other Business26:27 Outro & Sign Off Hosted on Acast.

Both Italian sides are out of Europe EPRC Challenge Cup and the Spritz and Scrums crew are not taking it well. This week, the three Benetton fans process the heartbreak of a 41-point home defeat that still wasn't enough, a referee decision that still stings, a Bilbao fund that never was, and a hangover-induced £100 bet that didn't pay off. They also cover Zebre's flat performance against Dragons, the Italians who shone in Exeter's run, the coaching change that could transform next season, and the worrying state of Benetton's defense heading into the summer. 00:00 Intro00:38 Benetton vs Exeter19:50 Looking Ahead 26:39 Italians at Exeter29:49 Zebre vs Dragons 38:00 Completely Unjustified Hope Hosted on Acast.

Italy's historic Six Nations campaign gets the full post-mortem treatment! We break down the emotional rollercoaster of beating England for the first time ever, only to get absolutely battered by Wales in the final match. Was it exhaustion? Lack of depth? Or just Wales playing the game of their lives? We debate whether it's an A-minus or straight-A performance for the Azzurri. Then it's back to URC action where Zebra embarrassingly gifted Scarlets a 29-0 lead before finally remembering how to play rugby, while Benetton put on an attacking masterclass against Ospreys that had us tasting spritz through the screen. - Six Nations Recap - URC Round Up - Upcoming matches preview - What Made Coach Mad - Wrap Up Hosted on Acast.
