- 1495
Benetton were playing great running rugby all game long with sustained pressure from them during rucks winning penalties so that Gabrisi can kick for touch and putting pressure on the Zebre defence. Benetton lead the game early and did not give up on their game plan of running the ball. After halftime it looked like Zebre had a big halftime talk as they were looking dangerous for the first 5 minutes as they scored quickly but then Benetton switched back on their defensive efforts continued. Zebre had a late charge with 10 minutes to go as they scored two quick tries. Benetton stayed true to their defence and forced a turnover in the final minutes and secured a penalty in the Zebre 22 meter. It was challenged by the captain but failed, Gabrisi with the clock ticking went for the thee points and finished the game with a perfect kicking performance as he went 6/6. It ended 34 - 27 to Benetton as they top the log of the Northern hemisphere.
