Treviso is a hot-bed of Italian rugby and posters heralding the clash between Benetton Treviso and Tigers are up across the city.
Benetton Treviso have made a good start to their first season in the Magners League and their European clash with Tigers was the talk of the city on Friday evening.
Flags are flying in the streets and the town squares and many bars have Benetton Treviso shirts and memorabilia on their walls.
Local newspapers estimate that around 700 Tigers supporters will be at the Stadio de Monigo for the Pool 5 game, in what will be a big crowd.
The sun is already high in the sky and temperatures are expected to reach the low 20s by kick-off.
Director of rugby Richard Cockerill has named his team for the game and you can read all the team news by clicking here.
