RECAP: Zebre v Bulls
READERS’ FORUM: Welcome to our live coverage of the rescheduled United Rugby Championship Round 10 match between Zebre and the Bulls in Parma.
Zebre will be keen for a return to action after Storm Eunice dashed their plans for a trip to Cardiff last week.
The Italian side is without a URC victory since they beat the Dragons a year ago this weekend and have lost all seven of their league encounters so far this season.
