This is a very important game for our struggles to climb the URC table throughout the 6 Nation period, we had 14 players selected for Team Wales Squad this was added to when Dewi Lake pulled out and according to reports Scott Baldwin taken into the camp, with numerous other players eg, Anscombe, Lydiate, Watkin, Griffiths and Parry there are probably others not available, we are down to the bare bones in certain positions, Hooker springs readily to mind with only Taione left from our original squad, perhaps we'll manage to pull someone decent in.
Is Cai Evans or Max Nagy available for full back do we have any other centres besides Collins and TTW available, is Myler fit enough to accompany Walsh for outside half, a squad something like the following could be selected.
Nagy/Evans, Morgan, TTW, Collins, Giles, Walsh, RMW, Smith, Taione, Botha, BBBD, Sutton, Roots? /Hickey, Deaves, Morris. Replacements 16 ?, Phillips, Henry, Regan, Hickey/ Cross, Aubrey, Myler and Florence.
Zebre have 7 or 8 players in the Italian squad, will they have any returned to them. This will be a very difficult game for us. If anybody can add some players that I've probably missed that might be a blessing.

Great start - two tries inside 14 minutes but since then Zebre have been on top and with 4 tries of their own, they lead 24-14.
