We're almost ready to kick off here!

Hello all and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of this Round 8 clash of the PRO 12 championship, with Treviso playing host to Cardiff Blues at the Stadio Comunale Di Monigo. Both teams have not had the start to the campaign that they would have wanted. Treviso have only managed to pick up 1 win from 7 and currently sit at the bottom of the table. It's mid-table for the Blues as they currently sit in 7th. Despite 7 Blues players being released back from the Welsh squad, they welcome two debutants in Williams and Halaholo. But can Treviso capitalise on the home advantage? Stay tuned for live updates.
