6 Howard – Difficult afternoon for the full-back who didn’t get much opportunity to showcase his attacking talents.
7 Humphreys – Positive signs from the youngster who looked dangerous in attack and denied Zebre a certain try.
5 Stelling – A quiet day for the centre who didn’t see a great deal of the ball.
7 Grove – Worked tirelessly to make tackle after tackle and to get Warriors yards upfield.
7 Hammond – Another who didn’t see much of the ball but always chasing high kicks and scored a fine late try.
5 Lamb – Always looking to get the back-line going but struggled against an exuberant Zebre defence.
6 Bruzulier – Confident box kicking got Warriors out of spots of bother but couple of loose passes put his back-line under pressure.
6 Bower – Pack struggled at the set-piece in the first half which put them on the back foot.
6 Bregvadze – Looked comfortable with line-outs and a handful in the loose.
5 Milasinovich – A huge test in his first start before being replaced just after half-time.
5 Sanderson – A tough return to starting line-up for the big lock.
6 O’Shea – Looked solid in the line-out and always throwing himself around.
6 Kirwan – Tireless work-rate from the flanker looking to put pressure on the likes of Phil Dowson.
5 Betty – A tough day on his 100th club appearance and found himself in the sin-bin before the break.
6 Mama – A busy day at number eight and regularly found himself with ball in hand.
