Parks rescues Connacht

Connacht 23 Zebre 19

For long periods the game hung on a knife-edge, with Zebre taking the lead for the first time in the 70th minute, but crucially, Connacht established territorial control.

Last weekend Miah Nikora, who has penned another year’s contract with the province, kicked the necessary points, and last night Dan Parks was back to add a drop goal and an 80th-minute penalty to seal a well deserved victory, their seventh this season.
