We continue to have quite a slow game of rugby here in Parma. Neither team getting a real foothold in this game. Zebre must look to make use of their extra man for the remainder of Bernad's time in the bin

Bernad sent to the bin following repeated infringements at the break down. The ref has finally lost patience

Edoardo Padovani with yet another shot on target and its Zebre who take the lead after 20 mins of play. Ref pinned Oyonnax for another ruck infringement . 9-6

And we are back to all square once again following another Edoardo Padovani penalty. Following an initial solid start from Oyonnax its been *** for tat over the last 10 minutes. Both teams exchanging blows, neither of which getting a hold on this game. Still early days however. 6-6

It does not take Oyonnax long to get back on top with another well taken penalty from Lespinas. The score now 3-6

Padovani strikes back for the home side following an offside infringement deep inside the Oyonnax half

Regis Lespinas with a well struck penalty following a ruck infringement from the hosts. A solid start from the French side. 0-3

Excellent conditions for some running rugby in Parma today. The visitors look to utilise this with some impressive hands inside the opening 5 minutes as they go in search of their first score

First scrum to Oyonnax just inside their own half, they look to expose Zebre outwide

And we are off!
