Canna gets the match underway for Zebre

Zebre host Ulster in round 2 of the Untied Rugby Championship. Zebre will look to bounce back from a 38-26 loss at the hands of the Lions in the opening round, while Ulster will look to build on a 35-29 victory over the Glasgow Warriors.

Zebre lost their URC opener at home to the Lions, albeit picking up a first bonus point since January 2020, while Ulster prevailed against Glasgow.



The Italians have lost nine on the spin and not beaten an Irish province since besting Connacht 19-11 in Galway in February 2018. Ulster have lost only once to Italian opponents since 2014, away to Zebre in September 2017. Their domination of Zebre has seen them lose just twice to them in 15 previous meetings, both in the PRO14 in Parma in 2014 and 2017.
