Riccardo Pavan (born 13 October 1986) is an Italian former international rugby union player.[1]
A Benetton Treviso youth player, Pavan was primarily a winger and for much of his club career formed a three-quarter partnership with twin brother Gilberto, starting with a successful period at Parma which included two Coppa Italia titles.[2]
Pavan toured South Africa with the national team in 2008 and made his debut off the bench in the one-off Test against the Springboks at Newlands, which remained his only Italy cap.[3]
In the 2011–12 season, Pavan was a member of the Aironi side that competed in the European Pro12 competition.[4]
