Benetton vs Leinster / Zebre vs Dragons - URC
Episode 30
Friday, 1 May, 2026

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.
