Much better from the Italian side. Better game management, particularly from a tactical kicking perspective

Zebre finally get on the score board through a Garcia penalty. Crossing the reason for the penalty

Hodgson gets us back under way

Half time in Parma. As was somewhat expected , Sarries go into the break with a substantial lead of 25 points to nothing. 3 trys from Kruis, Joubert and Wyles sees the visitors all but out of reach after the first 40 minutes. 2 yellow cards for Newa Vunisa and then Bergamasco has done nothing to help the homeside's chances thus far. Difficult to see Zebre clawing their way back into this affair, Sarries will have a bonus point certainly on the their minds when they enter for the second half

Another yellow for zebre, this time for Bergamasco. Frustration seething through the the zebre side as the have yet to get points on the board.

TRY SARACENS. Excellent counter attacking from Alex Goode sees the full back scythe through the Zebre defense and make his way inside their 22. A delightful pop up to Ashton sees the winger release Chris Wyles who has an easy finish in the end. Hodgson accurate with the boot once again

Substitution at hooker for zebre as they look to steady that scrum

Repeated ruck infringements sees Samuela Newa Vunisa head for the sin bin. Things go from bad to worse here for Zebre

TRY SARACENS. Beautifully executed training ground move sees Ernst Joubert race down the LO inside channel to cross for the second try of the game. 0-18

Another scrum, this time to Saracens - Zebre 10m line. Huge superiority demonstrated by James Johnston on the tight head and they have another penalty. Hodgson opts for the corner
