Re: Zebre win first league game!!
the tmo disallowed what looked like a good try for the blues, have to say they have been nothing short of pathetic this year in the league and I'm not sure how much longer Phil Davies will remain in charge there.
On the plus side for you If they can beat Toloun though no reason why you guys cant!

Re: Zebre win first league game!!
Zebre draw vs newport brings them level with Treviso.
The changes to European qualification next year make the battle between the Italian teams a bit more interesting.
It means that Glasgows 3 italian matches may not be easy as expected...

Yeah, Treviso looked like they cared last week, which they haven't seemed to have done in a while. Good. Their collapse this year has been a disgrace and if Zebre take the European spot this year nobody but themselves to blame.

It would be a bit funny if Connacht and Zebre both ended up in the Heineken equivalent next year after qualifying by right.fourthirtythree wrote:Yeah, Treviso looked like they cared last week, which they haven't seemed to have done in a while.

Re: Zebre win first league game!!
Best thing about Zebre's win is that it keeps the pressure on Treviso to get a result against Glasgow next week.

And it was an away game too. Delighted for them, they've worked very hard for this - don't expect they'll be the bottom placed Italian team this season.Dave Cahill wrote:Zebre have won their first european game, beating Brive in the Challenge Cup

They nearly weren't last season. Treviso had a minor rally to mediocrity after their collapse.

Re: Zebre win first league game!!
Totally! Not that the Celtic League partners will get any thanks for it (even from the Italians) but Zebre are a success that would not have arising if not for the inclusion of they and Treviso (even ill-fated Aironi) in the Pro-12. Glad it was a T14 or Premiership club they beat too.Xanthippe wrote:And it was an away game too.
