But Connacht can't deal with the ball. They get off the hook as Newa Vunisa sticks a hand out to knock the ball on from a Marmion pass. From the ensuing scrum Zebre's powerful scrum won the ball back against the head! Scrum to Zebre 5m out.
Zebre start very brightly in this 2nd half. They build the phases in the Connacht 22. Eventually Bergamasco gives a poor pass to Sarto who is shepherded into touch.
Great try, cheeky line out move!
HT here in Zebre and Connacht will be the happier of the two sides. Both sides started nervously but as things settled down the game opened up a bit more. Zebre have had their fair share of attacking chances but they lack the killer instinct in the last third. Connacht on the other have been clinical with a number of try scoring opportunities, including one ruled out by the TMO. No doubt that Zebre will come out all guns blazing in the 2nd half so Connacht will have to be wary. Stay tuned for the 2nd 40!
Clock ticks red here as we enter the last play of the 1st half. Zebre win a turnover at the line out and are now on the attack on halfway
Parks keeps the scoreboard ticking over. The penalties really racking up against the homeside
Another smart bet from our resident tipster! Anyone jumping on @Oldprops prediction?
Replays show that Poolman had his foot in touch before a smart off load to So'oialo who taught he had scored
We're consulting the TMO for a possible try for Connacht.
Connacht on the attack again here through Henshaw and Henshaw.
