Bortolami makes a mistake at the restart, handing Connacht an attacking opportunity.

Van Vuren loses the ball but we come back for a penalty - Henry the guilty party, caught offside on the fringe. Orquera points to the posts.

Luciano Orquera knocks a penalty to the corner. Off the lineout they drive towards the Connacht line with a strong maul.

Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage as Zebre play host to Connacht.
Not often do this Irish side go into a game as favourites, let alone favourites away from home! But the men from the west certainly earned this name tag with a formidable performance against Saracens last time out. Connacht's fellow Rabo strugglers, Zebre had a bright start to the season with their first ever victory against Cardiff last month. However they still await their maiden Heineken Cup victory.
One of the key battles today will be at half back. Zebre have the experience in Kiwi Brendon Leonard but the Irish side have Kieran Marmion who has proved a tricky customer against some of the bigger sides.
Be sure to stay tuned as two of the most passionate sides go head to head here in Italy. 20 minutes to kick off.
