After two home wins against South African opposition, Connacht will want to maintain that momentum against bottom side Zebre. A win could propel Connacht into the top eight.

Tries from Kieran Marmion, Niall Murray, Eoghan Masterson and John Porch gave the hosts a narrow 22-20 win at the Sportsground last May. It finished 47-12 in favour of Connacht the last time they met in Italy.
