Charlie Walker helps Zebre to bonus-point win over Cheetahs
By Online Editors
Wing Charlie Walker scored a try in each half as Zebre claimed a 41-13 bonus-point win over Cheetahs in Saturday’s Guinness PRO14 match at Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi.
Johan Meyer, Joshua Renton and Guilio Bisegni also crossed for Michael Bradley's Italian side, with fly-half Carlo Canna adding 16 points from the tee.
Wilmar Arnoldi scored the opening try of the match for Cheetahs in the seventh minute, but Walker’s first converted try and two Canna penalties saw the hosts pull clear.
George Whitehead slotted a penalty for the visitors but Johan Meyer’s converted try gave Zebre a 20-8 half-time lead. Renton increased their advantage eleven minutes into the second period before Tian Meyer cross for Cheetahs.
However, after that it was one-way traffic, with Walker scoring his second converted try of the game in the 65th minute before Bisegni added the final touchdown five minutes before the hooter.

I thought you meant in europe. Because all of the reasons theyre different I wouldn't correlate that to mean for europe, as in french broadcasters pay two or three times as much as the UK or SA broadcasters do, like they do for their league.
With France, it's not just about viewers, they are also paying much more. So no doubt there will be a hit (to the amount the French teams receive for only playing a fraction of it) but they may not care too much as long as the big clubs, the top 8 for example, enter the meaty end, and it wouldn't have the same value to them as the top14 contract/compensation does. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the 3 separate networks broadcast deals only went to the clubs in their regions as well (that's how SR ended up (unbalanced) I believe).
