Full Time

A fitting climax to this game. Bradbury fittingly get’s player of the match, and that is all round a huge result.

We've done it!

A brilliant maul off the line-out and Currie goes over the whitewash. We’ll leave Italy with a bonus point.

Final opportunity

We’ve got a penalty on the half way with two minutes to go. This would surely be the final opportunity to secure a bonus point.

Grayson sends deep into the Zebre half with a fabulous kick.

More changes

There’s some confusion, but we ring some changes in at the restart. Tom Currie enters the fray, and making his debut is Jamie Stewart, and Conor McApline is on. Schoeman makes way as does Douglas, and Paterson is off too.

Zebre score

Zebre mount pressure and fire back with Ferrari going over. Allan adds two for the home side.

Temporary change

Douglas leaves the field for Ashman due to a scrum. The decision on Morris is a yellow card.

Holding fast

We’re down a player but you wouldn’t really know it. Currie wins a wonderful jackal turnover and we kicked into the Zebre half for the line-out.

Morris shown a card

Morris’ challenge meets the yellow card threshold and will be reviewed. We’re down to 14 for the next ten minutes at least.

TMO check

Turnover winner Locatelli is going off injured. The referee is looking at the collision with Morris.

Relentless

It’s really end to end stuff here with both teams going pedal to the metal. There’s some respite with Zebre wining a turnover penalty just inside their own half.

Ringing the changes

Sykes comes onto the field replacing Hunter-Hill. Young Rory McHaffie is on for Gwynn.

Bradbury charges over

We go for the quick tap and work some good phases, and it’s co-captain Bradbury charging under the sticks.

Grayson adds two.

Sniping

After some exchanges Paterson sends over a wonderful kick, forcing Zebre to knock the ball out just outside their five metre line. Grayson tries to take it quickly but the ref brings it back for a line-out.

Almost

Some sublime work from McConnell and we’re very nearly in. He’s been fantastic today.

Hill comes in

Blyth-Lafferty retires and is replaced by Paul Hill.

Fusco returns

It’s been chaos so far in this half. We win a scrum penalty and Zebre win one right after. Fusco now returns as Zebre have a line-out in our half.

Scrum dominance

Our pack continue their dominance from the first half. Blyth-Lafferty is just too strong and we get a penalty.

Grayson kicks it deep into the Zebre half.

Fast pace

A fairly manic opening minute to the half. We start as we finished in the first half and throw everything we have at Zebre. Douglas wins a great turnover but we sadly knock the ball on shortly after.

And we're back

Welcome back for the second half. Morris replaces Ashman at hooker, and Zebre are still at 14 men.

They kick deep to kick things off.

Half time

We go into the changing rooms with a lead after a competitive first half.

Freddy goes over

We get a line out on the five metre line and maul over almost immediately, with Douglas getting the ball down.

Grayson unfortunately hits the post.

Fusco off

The referee warned them and keeps his word. Try scorer Fusco will spend the rest of the half in the bin.

Another penalty

Zebre give away another penalty and the referee isn’t happy. If there’s any further infringements a player will leave the field of play.

Grayson kicks into the Zebre 22.

Penalty Edinburgh

We put pressure on the Zebre scrum and come away with a penalty. Grayson kicks it just into the Zebre half.

Exhausting

Both teams have been absolutely going at it in this half, with very few stoppages. There’s a Zebre injury which brings the longest pause so far.

Currie finishes

After some relentless attempts at the line, Currie takes an offload from O’Conor and scores. Grayson gets the conversion.

Turnover

Douglas wins a jackal turnover on the halfway. We try to catch Zebre by surprise and kick deep but we’ll resume with a goal line drop out.

Back and forth

It’s fairly breakneck stuff here. We throw ourselves at the Zebre defence and they return the favour when in possession.

Back to full strength

Satala returns to play. We have a line out on the Zebre five metre line.

Decision overturned

The referee takes another look and isn’t happen with Gwynn’s grounding. It’ll be a goal line drop out.

GWYNN'S IN!

After throwing ourselves at the Zebre defence, Gwynn takes matters into his own hands and charges through four defenders to finish in the corner. Grayson adds the extras.

Zebre score

It’s chaos after Currie is involved in a huge collision. Zebre get a penalty and tap quickly and run the field with Fusco going over for the home side’s opening score.

Defensive grit

Zebre are throwing everything they have at us after that card, but we outlast it and force knock-on. It’s our scrum just outside our own 22.

Satala off

Satala is shown a yellow for his intentional infringement.

Penalty Zebre

Satala tries to intercept but knocks it on. It’s going to the TMO.

Grayson gets it

We take the lead through the boot of Grayson.

Penalty Awarded

After repeated pressure on the Zebre defence we come away with a penalty just outside the 22. Grayson goes for the sticks.
