Benetton beat Italian rivals Zebre again
By PA
Benetton maintained their stranglehold on the Italian derby by dispatching Zebre 31-24 in the United Rugby Championship.
A seventh successive victory in the fixture continues Benetton’s superb start to the season, with their eight league matches producing six wins, a draw and only one defeat.
Zebre began strongly with Lorenzo Pani’s early try and controlled the final quarter, when Jacopo Bianchi and Leonard Krumov touched down.
But outside of these periods their defence was breached far too easily as Bautista Bernasconi, Tommaso Menoncello, Jacob Umaga and the impressive Paolo Odogwu all scored tries for Benetton.

Starts to be overdone and oversold this systematic SA narrative…which nevertheless has the merit in this case to recognise blatant refereeing mistakes in their favor
Go to commentsWhat a sad way to end a glittering career. Somebody should tell him to delete his social media accounts and face the consequences of what he's done. Then he should slip away quietly into obscurity. This isn't likely to happen, something tells me he'll be back in The Sun / Daily Mail sooner rather than later.
