Edinburgh top URC after bonus-point win over Zebre

Edinburgh Rugby claimed the top spot in the United Rugby Championship after a commanding 29–12 victory over Zebre in their third match of the season. The Scots dominated from the outset, with James Grayson’s early penalty giving them a quick lead before Alessandro Fusco’s try for Zebre briefly turned the tide.

However, Edinburgh’s momentum never faltered, with Matt Currie and Freddy Douglas scoring crucial tries to extend their advantage. The hosts added two more late tries from Magnus Bradbury and Tom Currie, sealing a bonus-point win despite fielding a weakened side due to injuries and yellow cards for Harri Morris and Malelili Satala.

Zebre’s Giacamo Ferrari scored a late consolation try, but the damage was already done as Edinburgh controlled both possession and territory throughout the match.
