Benetton host Edinburgh in round 2 of the United Rugby Championship. Benetton came from behind to beat the Stormers 22-18 in the opening round, while Edinburgh beat the Scarlets 26-22. Who will make it two wins from two to begin the tournament.

Benetton and Edinburgh earned new coaches Marco Bortolami and Mike Blair victory in Round 1, with the Scottish side also adding a bonus point.



The Italian club have now won seven successive matches following last season’s Rainbow Cup success and have reeled off five in a row at home since losing to Cardiff in March. Edinburgh ended a four-game winless run in the competition when edging the Scarlets in another thriller at their new Dam Health Stadium home.



But they have not won away from home since a one-point victory at Connacht in March, and their last victory at this venue came in October 2017.
