One howler of a pass aside, Kinghorn has been good, the pack aren’t showing anything like the physicality of last week


He did really well with that tip pass for the try, but he's been spending a lot of time getting roughed up and on the back foot.

Richie is class but the set piece doesn't seem to be working so well.

Shiel isn't having a good game. This is his problem one good game one poor game right after. Get Vellacott on Mike!

We've gone to Zebre and played poorly in the past and lost, so five points is not to be sniffed at.

Oh great touchline conversion by Kinghorn

I've seen better bonus point victories.

Immelman showed up much better this game.

Could not watch game, but BP win away is not something we come away with often. Playing badly and winning is preferable to playing well and losing!

Good result in the end. Kinghorn was good, Vellacott changed the game when he came on. Should be in the Scotland squad ahead of Horne or Dobie
Credit to Mike Blair as well. All the subs had a positive impact.

His big carry up the middle of the park, sitting down two opponents was quite something.

On that note, it’s great to see Bradbury back to his beast-like best

Zebra were up for the game blasting at every tackle, think we might be lucky to get away with only minor injuries. Ugly game but kept at it to the whistle, a very valuable bonus point added.

That wasn't much to look at but a BP away is something I'll take however it comes. Not sure I agree with Kinghorn being good at ten, though asnt that impressed myself.
Don't mention Rory Hutton. I did once but I think I got away with it.

I said before the game a four pointer would be a great result so delighted with the BP. Awful first half but fairly dominant second 40 and some terrific impact from Vellacott in particular to get us through on a ground we've messed up on many times before.
Well done lads!

Poor game to watch but at least we won and got the BP. Our ball retention at the breakdown was very poor and some basic skills were absent. I thought Hutchison showed up well and carried the ball all game before he went off knackered - my MOTM. Still came away with the 5 points so no complaints really. Job done.
