**Wasps youngster Zac Nearchou is eager to put everything he has learnt over the last 12 months into practice if given further opportunities with Benetton during the second half of the Guinness PRO14 season.** This time last year the prop made the temporary move to Cambridge of the National League One before the coronavirus outbreak cut short his loan. When rugby got back under way, an injury crisis saw the 20-year-old drafted into first-team training at Wasps before a switch to Benetton emerged in November. A competitive debut in professional rugby quickly followed and while he has had to bide his time in the ensuing months, the Six Nations could provide him with more chances. "I had a taste of it and I am hungry for more, definitely," Nearchou said. "Benetton have a lot of national-team players so I was brought in as a spare wheel essentially but hopefully I will be less of a spare wheel now and one of the main ones - that is the plan."
