Edinburgh top URC after bonus-point win over Zebre

Edinburgh go top of the nascent United Rugby Championship table as a bonus-point victory at Zebre makes it three wins from three.

Tries: M. Currie, Douglas, Bradbury, T. Currie Cons: Grayson 3 Pens: Grayson

James Grayson kicked a penalty to put the visitors in front early on, but after winger Malelili Satala was sin-binned for a deliberate knock-on, Italy scrum-half Alessandro Fusco put Zebre in front with the game's first try.

Edinburgh recovered from that setback though and retook the lead on the half-hour mark when centre Matt Currie crashed through a couple of Zebre defenders to dot down.

With half-time approaching, Fusco was yellow carded and from the subsequent attack, young flanker Freddy Douglas scored at the back of an Edinburgh maul.

The game followed a similar pattern after the break, with the Scottish outfit dominating both possession and territory.
