Ivan Nemer

An Italy international forward, Ivan Nemer has been a durable presence in the Benetton Treviso pack. Born on 22 April 1998, he is valued for his physicality and his work in the tight exchanges, qualities that have earned him caps for the Azzurri as well as a regular role in the United Rugby Championship. Nemer's strengths lie in the heavy lifting of forward play: strong at the set-piece, abrasive in the collisions and reliable in the close-quarter work that props and tight forwards are asked to deliver. His defensive grit and willingness to carry give Benetton a dependable platform up front, helping the Italian side compete physically against the URC's strongest packs. For both club and country, his role is to bring power and consistency to the forward effort, doing the demanding work that creates momentum and allows the more creative players around him to operate. That blend of physicality and reliability has kept him a regular for Benetton and a familiar face in the Italy set-up.
