Dragons survive a late rally by Zebre to win a contest between the bottom two sides in the United Rugby Championship.

Dragons' defence stood firm enough to deny Zebre and edge a tense United Rugby Championship basement battle.

Not for the first time this month, Welsh and Italian sides were meeting to avoid the wooden spoon in a game of scant quality but plenty of tension. Six minutes later and the counter-rucking of prop Luke Yendle and Dyer handed wing Rosser the chance to speed clear along the touchline from even further out for the second try.
