United Rugby Championship: Latest results

Zebre 26-38 Lions

The Lions survived a stunning second-half fightback from Zebre to begin the inaugural United Rugby Championship with a 38-26 win in Parma.

Cash van Rooyen’s boys looked set to blow away their hosts as a pair of quickfire tries from Rabz Maxwane added to scores from Jamba Ulengo, Burger Odendaal and Jaco Visagie to help establish a commanding 35-0 half-time advantage at Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi.

But Zebre produced an astonishing response thanks to scores from Carlo Canna, Tommaso Boni, Oliviero Fabiani, and a penalty try before falling agonizingly short.

The Lions’ quest for victory was also boosted by 13 points from the boot of Jordan Hendrikse while Canna kicked four points for the hosts.
