Oyonnax Rugby scored three second-half tries to beat Zebre 33-24 in their first appearance in this season's European Rugby Challenge Cup this afternoon.
The home side had a narrow lead at half time following a try from Andrea Manici shortly before the half-time whistle, after Regis Lespinas had added a couple of early penalties for the visitors.
The Oyonnax comeback started early in the second half when Silvere Tian sprinted over after a quick break for his side's first try of the day.
David Odiete kept Zebre in front after forcing his way over with 20 minutes to spare, but Christophe Andre added a second for the visitors to keep the scores close.
Oyannax looked the stronger of the two sides as the final 10 minutes approached, and they took the lead when Fabien Cibray went over in the corner late on, clinching the win for the away side.
