Ian Keatley boots Benetton to victory over Zebre
By Online Editors
Ian Keatley booted eight points as Benetton claimed a battling 13-8 win over Italian rivals Zebre in their Pro14 clash in Parma.
Both sides fought through difficult conditions at the Stadio Sergio Lanfrachi with Keatley’s accuracy and a second-half try from Epalahame Faive proving decisive.
In a gruelling first period Zebre’s Marco Riccioni missed his first three penalties before finally scoring with his fourth to give his side a 3-0 half-time lead.
Faiva capitalised on a sustained period of pressure to score the first try of the game for Benetton on 53 minutes.
A conversion from Keatley and a subsequent penalty put Benetton in full control but Marco Manfredi bundled over for Zebre to set up an exciting finish.
The home side pushed hard but ultimately a further Keatley penalty proved enough for Benetton to maintain their dominant record over their rivals.

I'm flabbergasted that our pundits are so obsessed with a poor substitution and have failed to notice the only time we got anywhere near the tryline was an interception. England have no attack. It's a shambles and it's exactly what I've always expected from Borthers and the Wiggler.
