The 2nd half has started in a similar fashion to the first with both sides insisting on kicking as they look to get a territorial foot hold in the game

Luciano Orquera gets us underway again. Zebre clear to halfway without any hassle

With the clock gone red Zebre win a huge scrum and break up field through Van Schalkwyk. But the ball goes wide to Venditti and Bernabo comes in the side

Immediately from the restart Connacht look to up the tempo as we approach half time. A delicate bit of interplay from Cooney to Dilane and back to Cooney sees go over for his second just before half time

As Connacht look to run from inside their half, support is slow to arrive to the break down allowing Pratichetti to get over the ball and force the penalty

A simple try from Healy. The winger picked up a loose ball from Pratichetti and ran in unopposed from 50m

Zebre go over for their 1st try. A great break from Garcia up the middle split the Connacht defence. The centre was then spoilt for choice with supporters when he faced a 4 on 1 with O'Halloran. The play looked to be dead as the ball went to deck but Leonard was on hand to scoop up the ball and dive over the line

balls come on lads

After a scrappy scrum Venditti sends a kick into touch on the full. LO to Connacht on the Zebre 10m line

Brendon Leonard is less than impressed. He thought he'd made a clean break out of his 22 but the ref brings us back for a scrum after he impeded Cooney.
