The battle of the wings will garner much attention on Saturday as Azzurri dangerman Mattia Bellini returns to action, as do the Toyota Cheetahs, with the deadly Rabz Maxwane fresh from the box.

Both South African sides return to action in Round 10 and, after seeing their form dip slightly following a great start to the season, the Cheetahs travel to Italy in high spirits after their 18-13 win over Ospreys last time out, and a significant rest over the Christmas period.

Hawies Fourie’s side currently occupy a Finals Series place, sitting third in Conference A and have never lost to Zebre.

Meanwhile, Michael Bradley’s men may have ended their 20-match winless run in Round 7 but two defeats to bitter rivals Benetton will sting and they will need to turn their poor home record around.

Kick-off: 15:00 (UK) 16:00 (ITA), Stadio Lanfranchi, Parma

Players to watch out for: Mattia Bellini (Zebre) and Rabz Maxwane (Cheetahs)

There is plenty to keep an eye on in this one, including an all-Azzurri Zebre front row and the Cheetahs bringing all their dangermen, but the clash between Bellini and Maxwane is simply going to be box office.

Bellini is fully recovered from his injury and will start alongside Junior Laloifi and Charlie Walker in the back-three, the Italian international was in scintillating form before that injury and beating defenders for fun.

Meanwhile, Maxwane winning the Championship’s top try-scorer award last season with 14 in 20 tells you all you need to know about his threat.

Key stat: Toyota Cheetahs’s three-game losing run ended last time out with their 18-13 victory against Ospreys in Neath on 30 November.
