Overview
- Replacement fly-half Martin Roger Farias nailed a long-range penalty off the post with time expired to clinch the win.
- Zebre raced 14–0 ahead before captain Giovanni Licata’s yellow card was upgraded to red on TMO review, leaving them short-handed.
- Edinburgh drew level before half-time and again through replacement hooker Paddy Harrison late on, helped by pressure after a 64th-minute sin-bin, but they never led.
- Tries for Zebre came from Tommaso di Bartolomeo, Juan Manuel Pitinari, Simone Gesi and Alessandro Fusco, with Edinburgh replying through Liam McConnell, Magnus Bradbury, Ben Vellacott and Harrison.
- Head coach Massimo Brunello praised Zebre’s character, while Sean Everitt called Edinburgh’s display disappointing and blamed individual errors.
