We won, its points on the board so I'm happy. Zebre were always going to go out and give it a serious lash it being there first Heineken Cup match. Hopefully next week we improve, get some momentum going from this win and a few more boys come off the injury list to give EE options.

Delighted with the win, we weren't great but job done. Just watching 'quins v Biarritz now and we'll need a massive improvement to live with either of them. Decent game so far despite George Clancy's best efforts. Anyway, really looking forward to next week and very happy to be going into it off a win

I'll take the win. 2nd ever in the Heineken cup. But the match itself was awful to watch. SO many errors from both sides

Not the best performance but a win on the road is bloody good for us.

Happy out!

19-10 win, mixed performance, tough first half but we were well on top in the 2nd without putting it on the scoreboard. Against Quins and Biarritz all these chances will have to be taken. Some good performances but lots to work on. Next week will be a massive massive step up on this but at least we are going into it with this win under our belts.

Zebre were worse than I expected. I'd be surprised if Quins don't get 10 points off them and Biarritz at least 9.

Still job done and roll on Harlequins at a rocking Sportsground next Saturday evening.

Try zebres off some Connacht poor tackling, is it just me or do the lads look tired? 10-19.

Muldoon wins MOM but for me it's Marmion, very impressed with him again

Try for Zebre and converted. 10-19. Just 7 minutes left. Need to just keep it tight now and not give them any more encouragement.

Zebre are in disarray at this stage, we really should have had another try a couple of minutes ago which may have given us a glimmer of a bonus point but we just haven't been clinical enough to deserve any more tries.

Was just going to give out about giving up cheap possession on the restart but great turnover from Buckley, good clearance, chase, tackle from McCarthy, follow up and for once with Connacht good quick thinking from Muldoon to score under the sticks from the penalty 3-19 now. Should be able to see it out now.

and Muldoon taps and goes five yards out and scores under the posts!

We have had great possession and territory this half but unable to make anything of it...

...until now, penalty Parks 3-12

Both teams are doing all they can to lose this. Number of elementary errors is awful.

Nothing added while Bergamasco off. Worrying.

Parks is very impatient, way too quick to kick when we're in their 22. Need to keep passing.
