**Zebre Parma claimed their first United Rugby Championship victory since February last year as they defeated the Dragons 23-18 at Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi.** The Dragons were Zebre’s last URC scalp more than 14 months ago, and their Italian hosts again proved too strong. The Welsh side were reduced to 13 players for a quarter of the second half after wing Jared Rosser and fly-half Sam Davies received yellow cards. Zebre were awarded a penalty try for an offence in the move that saw Davies sin-binned, then wing Simone Gesi crossed five minutes from time to clinch a first league win of the campaign at the 15th attempt. Hooker Luca Bigi also crossed for the home side, while fly-half Antonio Rizzi kicked two penalties.
