Rugby Viadana ends 2024 in command of the Elite Men's Serie A, taking the top spot at Femi-CZ Rovigo in the postponed eighth round of the top championship.
Coach Pavan's Mantuan lions conquer the “Battaglini” by 23-26, at the end of eighty vibrant minutes, where the mutual desire to bring home victory and supremacy go hand in hand with the quality of the game expressed by the two teams and by a competitive fury that leads the Brescia international Gianluca Gnecchi to draw the yellow card on several occasions.
The last warning is for the Viadanese winger Andrea Bronzini, who leaves his team inferior in the final stages of the match, with the match in full balance, after having scored two of the four Viadanese tries: Rovigo, thanks to the final defensive effort of the guests, but was unable to take advantage of it, allowing Viadana to end the year at the top.
