And we're underway for the second half here in France

40 down 40 to go, the frenchmen are 10 points clear. 2 kicks in the first 5 minutes with one flying over, the Italians wanted to get on the board first, however the missed kick didnt do great for the confidence early on. Oyonnax attacked hard for majority of the half making some good headway but Zebre held strong until the very end where Rousses broke through.
