Edinburgh moved to the top of the United Rugby Championship table following a 29-12 bonus-point victory over Zebre. The win secured three consecutive victories for head coach Sean Everitt's injury-hit squad. Despite an early yellow card for winger Malelili Satala and an opening try from Zebre scrum-half Alessandro Fusco, Edinburgh took control before the break with tries from Matt Currie and Freddy Douglas.

Edinburgh maintained their dominance in the second half, adding a third try through Magnus Bradbury. Zebre responded when Giacomo Ferrari crossed the line following Harri Morris's sin-binning, but Tom Currie scored off a powerful maul in the final minute to seal the bonus-point victory. Fly-half James Grayson contributed nine points from the kicking tee.
