Connacht can grasp second chance

A lot has happened on and off the field since Connacht’s match against Zebre in Parma was called off at half-time last month when a storm struck.

Connacht, having lost their opening two league games in defence of their Pro12 crown, were trailing 22-10 when the storm forced the match to be abandoned.

And while they were beaten in Llanelli a week later, Connacht have since turned their campaign around and head back to Italy looking good to extend their winning run against Zebre to all 13 games between the sides.
