The Vodacom Bulls won well against Zebre Parma but they are yet to convince they can maintain intensity across 80 minutes to win three knock-out matches in a row.

The show looks ahead to this weekend's round of 16 matches in the Challenge Cup with particular focus on Edinburgh against the Lions, the Bayonne against the Bulls and Lyon against the Sharks.
