Edinburgh moved to the top of the United Rugby Championship after a 29-12 bonus-point win away to Zebre on Saturday, extending Sean Everitt's side's start to three wins from three.
James Grayson put Edinburgh ahead with an early penalty, but Zebre briefly took control after winger Malelili Satala was sin-binned for a deliberate knock-on and Alessandro Fusco scored the opening try. Edinburgh responded before the half-hour mark when Matt Currie powered through defenders to score, then added further tries through Freddy Douglas, Magnus Bradbury and Tom Currie.
Zebre stayed in touch through Giacomo Ferrari after Edinburgh replacement hooker Harri Morris was yellow-carded, but the visitors stayed dominant in possession and territory and finished with maximum points. The result keeps Edinburgh at the top of the nascent table after three straight wins despite an injury-hit squad.
