Preview: Italian Super 10, Round 4
Thu, 02 Oct 2008 17:41
It's tough at the top for the top sides. Last weekend Treviso played Viadana and this weekend they play Carrera Petrarca while Overmach Cariparma, top of the log, play Viadana who have slipped to third.
Those two matches, involving the top four teams, are likely to attract most attention though the performances of recently promoted Roma and rejuvenated Rovigo would be of interest and suggest that they will keep the bottom two sides pinned at the bottom.

1. Overmach Cariparma 14
2. Benetton Treviso 13
3. Montepaschi Viadana 10
4. Carrera Petrarca, Cammi Calvisano 8
