[QUOTE="danit, post: 152671"] there are consistent rumors about the entry of a couple (maybe 3) italian teams in the Celtic League from 2008/2009 season first team should be Treviso with his actual managment and property, a completely private club second team should be a co-partecipated club between FIR and privates, a club based around Parma, don't know exactly wich actual clubs are going to have shares in it (probably the two teams form Parma plus probably Viadana and/or Calvisano: all these towns are very close) other teams from Veneto (Padova, Rovigo) and some clubs from Rome would love to build up a team too, but I think they won't be ready for the next season italian Super10 should stay as it is, a professional league with actual clubs (Treviso should play with a B team) nothing is official yet, just rumors... well, for sure there will be some new faces from the U21 team, some of them were already in the 40 men group for the RWC (Paul Derbyshire, 21: flanker/n. 8, born, raised and formed in Italy despite of his name, played for Stade Francais espoirs last year, will be at Parma this year - Enrico Patrizio, 22: center from Padova - Alberto Sgarbi, 21: center/utility back from Treviso) some others will join the team no. 9 I think will be picked up Picone, scrumhalf from Treviso who had big injury problem last year otherwise he would have been Troncon backup at RWC, Semenzato (21 yrs old) has big talent too even if he's too sour yet no. 10 there's a big hole, some interesting youngsters but far from being ready for international level, I dunno what Mallet could do... more relevant transfers are Festuccia and Lo Cicero to Racing Metro Paris, Bernabò to Brive and prop Aguero (born in Argentina but fully formed in Italy as he came to Italy when he was less than a kid) to Saracens Stanojevic came back to Italy and will play his rugby for Calvisano [/QUOTE]
