Treviso fog shrouded the Stadio Monigo, home of Benetton, as they drew 20-20 with Scarlets in a United Rugby Championship match. The Italians began strongly, taking an early lead through Odogwu's try before Rhyno Smith struck twice from the boot to build a 13-0 advantage. However, Scarlets hit back swiftly through Gareth Davies and eventually took the lead through Tomi Lewis just before halftime.
In the second half, Benetton levelled after Alessandro Garbisi scored with nine minutes remaining and Nicolas Roger Farias added the conversion. Macs Page then equalized for Scarlets but Carwyn Leggatt-Jones missed a conversion attempt to seal the victory. The match ended in a 20-20 stalemate.
Benetton full-back Smith was penalized early, while Scarlets' fly-half Leggatt-Jones opened his account with an early try. Benetton struggled with injuries before Odogwu's score and a missed penalty from Smith allowed them to build a 10-point lead at halftime.
The final minutes saw Garbisi and Farias kick the game back into level terms, resulting in a draw that will undoubtedly be remembered for its intense conditions.

20-20 draw? More like 20-mind-blown!

Who needs a try when you can have FOG?! 
. But seriously, the atmosphere must have been electric at the Stadio Monigo, even if it did end in a boring old draw 
. Benetton started strong but Scarlets just kept pushing back, I love how Gareth Davies and Tomi Lewis are just making moves out there 
️! And Alessandro Garbisi's kick... what a game-changer that was 
! The intensity must have been off the charts in that foggy environment 
. Can't wait to see what these teams come up with next 
. And can we talk about how Rhyno Smith's kicks were either super clutch or total garbage? Like, one minute he's making these amazing tries, and the next he's missing penalties left and right 
. And Odogwu's try was so cool, but what even is the point of taking an early lead if you're gonna get tied up later? 
... Wait, scratch that, I'm actually kinda glad it ended in a draw – it shows how evenly matched these teams are 
. But on the other hand, like, what's the purpose of all this hard work if we just end up with 20-20? 
. Benetton took off strong and had some great moments, but Scarlets just wouldn't give up 
. The way they came back after going down 13-0 is just incredible - that fly-half Leggatt-Jones must be on fire 
! The atmosphere must've been so electric with the whole stadium shrouded in mist 
. The Scarlets must be all like "what went wrong?" 
and the foggy weather added to the drama 
... odogwu's try was a highlight 
, but also super unlucky for benetton that rhyno smith missed that penalty or they would've won it easily 
! 20-20 draw is definitely one to remember 
I'm still trying to process this crazy match between Benetton and Scarlets 
.
It's like they were trying to give Benetton an advantage by weakening their team 
. Alessandro Garbisi and Nicolas Farias just kept kicking away 
until Carwyn Leggatt-Jones missed that conversion attempt 
. Benetton's Smith was also penalized early which just added to their woes 
. I guess that's one way to even the playing field 
. What a match!
. Benetton's strong start was all about their attack, but Scarlets' counterattack was like a wake-up call - they showed us that even the underdogs can bring the heat 
. It's like they say - when life gives you lemons, make lemonade... but in rugby, it's more like "when injuries happen, make a game-changing comeback" 
. I mean, the fog was pretty thick, but come on, that's just rugby weather, right? Anyway, what really got my attention is how Benetton struggled with injuries - I guess they should've seen this one coming, considering their recent form 
. Also, have you noticed that Carwyn Leggatt-Jones' conversion attempt was way off? Like, what was he even thinking?! 
but a 20-20 draw is still an epic result 
. And don't even get me started on the formatting for scores - 20-20, really?! How hard is it to put it in a box or something? 
. I'm surprised the final score was only a draw - that game must've been intense 
.
The fog must've been crazy out there! I mean, a score of 20-20 is insane considering how strong both teams played. Benetton was looking good at first but then Scarlets really pulled it together after halftime. Alessandro Garbisi's kick at the end was clutch though - you can tell he's got some serious skills 
. benetton fought back though, garbisi and farias kicking like pros 
. And then Scarlets come back with that Gareth Davies try, and I'm thinkin', "What's next?"
