Watch Edinburgh Rugby v Zebre highlights as Springbok seals dramatic late win

All the action from Friday night clash in URC

Boan Venter’s late try snatched Edinburgh a 31-30 victory over Zebre as the pendulum swung one way and then another at the Hive Stadium in the United Rugby Championship.

Edinburgh capitalised from a line-out to open the scoring through Connor Boyle but Zebre got themselves on level terms five minutes later when Alessandro Fusco darted over following a succession of penalties.

Zebre got their noses in front when Simone Geis went over in the corner but their lead was short lived, Malelili Satala passed over to Hector Patterson on debut who made it 14-12 to Edinburgh.

The hosts extended their advantage to seven points when Ewan Ashman powered through three defenders to score but Zebre cut that deficit to four on the stroke of the break through a Giovanni Montemauri penalty.

Zebre retook the lead five minutes into the second half after Jacopo Trulla received an offload and ran over but again they were not in the lead for long – Edinburgh drove the maul and Ashman was there to finish things off for his second of the night.

Zebre made it a one-point game when Montemauri slotted another penalty and then Matteo Nocera’s try put Zebre in position for a third win of the competition until Venter’s late effort gave Edinburgh the chance for the win and Cammy Scott’s conversion snatched the points.
