Rugby: in Serie B, Cus Catania wants to win again

The men's Serie B rugby championship resumes with the fifth round of the second half, which will see the three Sicilian teams engaged in reinforcing or improving their current standings in the league.

The Cus Catania, after the defeat against the leader Primavera Rugby, is looking to bounce back immediately, and what better opportunity for the fifteen of Luca Mammana than the match scheduled for Sunday at the Cittadella Universitaria (via at 11:30) against the Benevento, who are at the bottom of the table along with Bari. In the first leg, the Cus team had won 38 to 21 in Campania.

The Messina, after the victory in the Sicilian derby against the XV del Sud Est, seems to have regained the vitality of the beginning of the season and must confirm whether it has left behind the dark moment after many injuries, as they visit the Lazio team Capitolina on Sunday.
