The opening ten minutes have been a deadlock, neither team able to get a scratch on the scoreboard yet.

Strong carries from the Brive back row, Sanconnia in particular leading the charge for his team.

Zebre may be the new team in the competition but they are certainly making themselves known on this field, dominating the collisions in the opening 5 minutes here.

Scrappy opening few minutes as both sides settle into this game.

And the game is underway as the ball is recovered well from the kick off and the first collision a statement of intent from this Zebre side.
