Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Efficient carrier with defensive reliability

Across eight appearances for Benetton, Zanandrea operates as a measured ball-carrier whose per-game output reflects a controlled, system-driven role rather than a high-volume one. His ability to spike well beyond his averages — posting 10 carries and 41 metres in a single outing — signals genuine upside when given the opportunity. He contributes consistently at the breakdown and in defence, averaging over a tackle per game across 300 minutes of Challenge Cup and URC action.
