Province get URC campaign off to a victorious start despite meeting stiff resistance in Italy.
The northern province will be relieved to leave Parma with a victory after a game where they trailed by 10 points in the second half and, having fought their way back to a winning position, needed a late turnover close to their line to deny Zebre a winning try.
Advertisement Simone Gesi touched down twice for Zebre, with David Sisi, Giovanni Licati, Lorenzo Pani and Scott Gregory also crossing the line. Stockdale then got over in the corner following a floated pass from Flannery. Doak converted to level the score again.
