Rugby Urc, another defeat for the Zebras: Edinburgh passes 19-38

A big step back for the Zebras in performance and results, a double jump forward for Edinburgh, who smashed Parma 19-38 (3 goals with a result already compromised at 6) and overtook Benetton Treviso at the top of the Italian-Scottish group by Urc.

no reaction

Once again at the start of the season, Sisi and his teammates soon found themselves chasing their opponents. With the difference, compared to what happened with Leinster, Sharks or Munster, there was no reaction to the territorial dominance of possession with which Edinburgh controlled the game. Indiscipline also continues to be a big problem for Italian training. And we are not talking about the red card to Pelser (guilty of a shoulder entry on the head of an opponent in ruck). The foul – useless – of the South African third line came in the 23 ‘when the result already said 0-19 with the goals of McBurney, Hodgson and Goosen favored by sudden accelerations on the axis of Mata and associates with quick meeting points by Scottish and from the lineout maul. The goal of the offensive bonus arrived already on 26 ‘, again with a foul by the Zebras that led to a touchdown at 5 meters and the winning maul closed again by McBurney.

well neculai

The Zebras have seen themselves in the 22 opponents only on a couple of occasions, but failing to crush the oval with Neculai held high in the in-goal area (but what a beautiful game both in open field and in close scrum of the young blue right prop) and then with Bruno who did not control a pass right on the goal line.

never in the game

The yellow to Boffelli first of the interval momentarily brought the two teams back in numerical parity, but on the first ball of the second half it was again the Scots who went to goal with Immelman. At 0-31 Edinburgh has lowered the pace, while controlling the reaction of the Zebras rather easily. To unlock the result, a cunning of Fusco was needed, ready to quickly play a free-kick at 5 meters to surprise the Scottish defense, then in the final another long forcing of the Zebras in the 22 opponents led to crushing Rizzoli too before Currie da one side and Trulla (served very well by Fusco, who then caused concern for an injury to his left shoulder) on the other, closed the accounts for good.
