Rugby duo Mirco Spagnolo and Simone Ferrari's Instagram page reaches 7,500 followers

The Italian Rugby Federation released the 2026/27 national competition schedule in late July, but the most talked‑about story in Italian rugby this season is the rapid growth of an Instagram account run by Benetton and national‑team players Mirco Spagnolo and Simone Ferrari. Launched in March 2026, the page has attracted almost 7,500 followers, posting gym videos, training clips from the national squad, humorous banter between the two players and short vertical‑video sketches that have gone viral.

The duo also collaborates with Lega Rugby, promoting events such as the recent Serie A Elite final. Their content mixes sport‑related footage with light‑hearted skits, earning them a reputation as the most popular rugby personalities on Italian social media.

The account’s success highlights the growing importance of digital platforms for athletes in Italy, offering fans direct access to behind‑the‑scenes moments and boosting the visibility of rugby ahead of the new season.
