Last year Benetton were beating themselves a bit, this year they look like they have matured and evolved.

Benetton are the only unbeaten team in the league so far with wins over Cardiff, Lions, Stormers and a draw v Munster under their belt.

In their win over Stormers, Benetton managed a drop goal as well as two tries to secure the extra point.

Glasgow Warriors boss Franco Smith says his side are "incredibly excited" by the challenge of entertaining a revitalised Benetton in the United Rugby Championship on Saturday.

"We're looking forward to being back at home for the next two weeks for two big matches, beginning with Benetton this weekend," head coach Smith said.

"Benetton will pose a strong test. They have recruited well, had 22 players participate in the World Cup and they're at the top of their game at the moment.

"They've shown they can win away from home this season and pose a real all-round threat.

"We know that we will need to be at our best to meet the challenge and we have trained well this week in preparation for what lies in store."
