Both sides open this half as we expected, hungry for possession with a vicious contest at the ruck.

Both teams returning to the field now and the crowd erupts, Haimona kicking off the final 40 minutes of this all Italian derby.

Jayden Hayward with yet another kick to give his side the lead as the referee blows up the first half, both teams enter the tunnel with the thought of the win very much on their minds. Treviso enter with the lead but Zebre are still hunting down the victory. Both sides showed immense passion and great effort in the opening 40 minutes, undoubtedly they will return to the field with the game still all to play for.

Benetton secure a penalty, genuine opportunity to take the lead here. Christie attempts and misses a drop goal but it is brought back due to a prior infringement.

Each team really working to get a score here before the half ends, the mental value of going into the tunnel at half time with a lead could be the thing that separates these two sides.

Both sides still running like men possessed as the half comes to a close here in Parma.

Haimona has the opportunity to regain the lead but can't find the target, scores remain level.

TRY! Just as we thought Zebre we're beginning to take over, Henry Seniloli darts his way over the line great effort from the scrum half. Hayward converts to level the scoreline on the half hour mark.

Both teams seem to be settling into their structures as the half progresses, Zebre in possession building phases and having a more choreographed play to how they started.
