Entering the closing minutes of this half and Zebre look revitalised and playing better than they have all half.

6-3 dopo 30 minuti o è una partita combattutissima o è una partita bruttissima

The deadlock is broken at the half hour mark with another kick from Orquera after Brive are penalised a second time at the Scrum. This could be the mental edge Zebre need to take off in this game.

The first quarter of the game is over and both these sides are still grinding out the phases, trying to find a lapse in concentration to take the lead but neither side is giving an inch just yet. Excellent physicality and some ruthless work at the breakdown have been the real deciders so far in this game.
