Pat Lam’s Connacht rallying cry

Connacht are looking to preserve their 100% record over Zebre in tonight’s Pro12 clash at the Sportsground (7.30pm).
Pat Lam’s Connacht rallying cry

The hosts, with 11 points from 15 in the opening three rounds, view tonight’s fixture as a must-win, the first of a run of 16 consecutive Pro12 and European fixtures.

In 11 meetings in both Pro12 and Europe, Connacht have never lost to Zebre, and last year won 43-3 at home. However, coach Pat Lam is taking no chances, making just one change to the side that overcame Cardiff with a five-try bonus point win two weeks ago. Rodney Ah You, having recovered from a hamstring, comes in for Finlay Bealham in the front row in a game that will also mark wing Matt Healy’s 50th for the province.
