Zebre 10-10 Dragons
Aneurin Owen is off for a HIA here after carrying into contact - but Mr Pearce has ruled the clash of heads was accidental and there was little the defender could do.
The Dragons medical staff look, well, less than ecstatic with that interpretation.

Inise try, O'Brien con
Aneurin Owen chips ahead and Fine Inisi pounces!
Owen was only 15 metres out but spotted a gap behind the Zebre defence. The kick was an awkward one and sure enough, it bounces away from the covering defender and Inisi is able to get a hand down on the ball over the line.
Looked messy, but who cares? Angus O'Brien adds the simple extras.
You can tell this is cup rugby - neither side is turning down three points when they're on offer early on.
This time it's Zebre's chance after Aaron Wainwright is caught offside in midfield and from a similar range to Angus O'Brien just moments before, Giacomo Da Re nails it.
A strong carry from Aaron Wainwright sees the number eight break two tackles and leads to a penalty chance - and Angus O'Brien immediately steps up to go for the posts.
It's still scoreless but boy, this is an edgy start for the Welsh side.
Jacopo Trulla speeds down the left wing and his pass inside looks destined to be a scoring one - only for a retreating Fine Inisi to make a crucial interception.
The first defensive test for Dragons and they pass it!
Giacomo Da Re boots a penalty to the corner and after a line-out drive and several phases close to the line, Zebre are penalised for crossing in midfield.
Amid a period where Welsh rugby has been plagued by fall-outs and division, it was heartening to hear Filo Tiatia reveal Dragons have has the backing of their rivals this week.
"It's pleasing to get messages from Steve Tandy, Jockey (Matt Sherratt) and Danny [Wilson], so they're pleased around all four regions trying to be better in competitions," said Tiatia.
"We have had messages from the other coaches from the regions, so we're well connected and that's what we need."
The New Zealander also promised his players will be prepared for battle tonight, but warned of any complacency against the only side below them in the URC.
"The players are focused on going to Parma and have a scrap," he added.
"They're a good side, especially at home. I played in Italy and understand how they think, but also when you go up against the challenge, they're up for it. So it's got to be a tough game playing over there but the boys are excited."
