Challenge Cup Highlights: Zebre v Gloucester

Gloucester will be delighted to walk away from Parma this afternoon with a 5 point win over a strong Zebre side. The hosts got off to a flying start going 14:0 after 17 minutes but Gloucester were nowhere near ready to throw in the towel and after 26 minutes No. 8, Ruan Ackermann got in for the visitors first try followed by another from Thorley with Williams adding the extras. Boni got in just before the half-time whistle with Canna converting. The second half was end to end stuff as Thornley went over for his second of the day after 5 mins into the second half. Williams followed on converting his own try 5 mins after that. Hibbard went over for his sides 5th try of the day after 68 minutes. The home side weren't ready to give up just yet, however, and managed to get over the line once more with Galway man Gaffney scoring in the corner on the 72nd-minute mark.
