Zebre Match Information

29/11/2019

Dragons are back on home soil when they face Zebre Rugby at Rodney Parade on Saturday afternoon (kick-off 5.15pm) as the Men of Gwent aim to repeat the win they secured in Italy earlier this season.

Dean Ryan’s men stormed to a 52-28 win when the teams met in Parma in October – ending a four-and-a-half year wait for an away win in emphatic fashion by piling up the points against 14-man Zebre.

However, the Italians welcome back a number of internationals for the latest tussle and Dragons will need to produce a polished home show – without a number of players on international duty with Wales - to claim the points.

Did you know?

  • Dragons have won their last two matches, both in the European Challenge Cup, at home to Castres and away to Enisei but in the Guinness PRO14 their two victories this season were at today’s opponents Zebre in round 2 and at home to Glasgow Warriors in round 4.
  • Zebre have not won outside of Italy in Guinness PRO14 since a trip to Connacht in February 2018, whilst their only previous victory in Wales was at Cardiff Blues in September 2013.
  • Dragons have won their last two matches against Zebre and all six against them played at Rodney Parade.
