Might be a big of a slugfest this one.......how come we got Fitzgibbon again!

Half time and Ref has been nothing if not indifferent....two, good, tries curtesy of decent fly half play from Barraque are all that divide the teams and only some strong defence kept Zebre out just before half time after some appalling BO tackling allowed Zebre two strong runs into the 22.

Scrums and lines outs all a bit of a gamble and gives Fitzgibbon more chances than a roulette wheel...although gave a yellow to Zebre in the first quarter.

On recent form and watching this game, it is probable that the lead has been built against a poor team even though they have had their moments but an entertaining match!

Bonus point win. Solid performance, no more, and the lack of real oppostion allowed some of the more flaky BO pllayers to shine andl perhaps, gain confidence for matches ahead.

Thought Barraque played well but after 66 mintes he was moved to centre for Perylongue and cohesion suffered.

Tackling was really bad and far, far too many errors.

Quins down next week, which may dent their confidence again, and cannot see anywhere near a win never mind a bonus point so European competition this year should end next week and Top 14 become the only priority!!
