They've been really unfortunate in the past. Great night for the league.

Well deserved for them and long overdue. Congratulations you zebras.

Italy demand three places in Pro12 and H Cup competition and issue challenge to PRL........well maybe next week

if they were to beat saracens *slobber*

[Donny B.]

Gas that both Italian teams won this week, almost like they're giving two fingers to the English media who are always slagging them off. Good for them

TG4 pundits seemed to think Munster playing in 3rd gear would win easily in Treviso . . .

So not just the English.

Great win for Zebre but how bad is that Cardiff defence?

Indeed. Pretty much all opposition supporters have realised that you can't write Treviso off anymore. Pundits are often about a season behind.

Great to see Zebre get the win. Onwards and upwards for the Rabo.

Delighted for them. Every year Italian rugby breaks new ground in club and international rugby.

The well established biological phenomenon of a winner effect might kick in. We could see a few more victories from them. I hope so.

It won't just be the players. The refs won't be consciously or sub-consciously expecting them to lose every game too.

[Donny B.]

Nearly had their second win, but an injury time pen from Priestland got the Scarlets a draw.

[simonokeeffe]

They move above Connacht in the table :-/

Edinburgh 25 Zebre 23. Not a win but another good performance, LBP too. Were leading a HT.

[Grumpy Old Man]

And now they get their second, beating Treviso 14-12. They are now two points ahead of Connacht (playing ths evening) and up to eleventh spot.

Zebre only go and beat Cardiff. Their 3rd win of the season, only 4 pts behind Treviso now.

Treviso just got tonked by a not massively strong looking Connacht too.
