Connacht battle rain to blow Zebre away

Connacht - 33

It’s not quite like the six-match winning run this time last year which took Connacht all the way to the PRO12 crown, but this fourth win in a row gives Pat Lam’s men a fighting chance of securing Champions Cup qualification.

The constant rain in Galway throughout yesterday added an unwelcome factor to the equation for Connacht last night, but they dealt with the conditions and a poor Zebre side without enough precision to secure all five points.
