CONNACHT RAN OUT 20 – 3 winners over Zebre in their Pool 3 Heineken Cup clash at the Sportsground this evening.
The western province fell some way short of earning the bonus point they set out for, but Matt Healy and Robbie Henshaw tries in either half provided the highlight.
The latter will surely adorn Connacht’s highlight reel for some time to come. Not only for Henshaw’s O’Driscoll-esque step and finish, not even for Jack Carty’s between-the-legs pass to his fellow Athlone man.
No, the part that made our jaws drop was the ridiculously good back-handed off-load from second row Michael Swift (number 19).
Locks everywhere, rejoice!
