鈥淩oss is one of those young guys that we鈥檙e absolutely delighted has committed his long-term future here,"
鈥淗e broke through a little last year with some great performances in the Premiership Cup, but to come in this season in the way that he did, he鈥檚 proved to be fast, aggressive, and he鈥檚 been the real point of difference to other people in the league with his pace and work rate.
鈥淪eeing him breakthrough into the senior international Italian team, and for them to have their best Six Nations ever as he played a key part in some historical performances for them, was absolutely fantastic."
