Video: Massive Robbie Henshaw hit sets up try in Connacht’s rout of Zebre

Matt Healy took full advantage

We reckon Matteo Pratichetti is till winded after this one.

Connacht routed Zebre 40-10 to keep their Champions Cup hopes alive, running in six tries in Parma to end a stretch of five losses in a row.

There were some stunning long-range scores from Pat Lam’s side, and their second try of the game was one of the picks of the bunch.

Zebre had possession (around 50 seconds in), but Robbie Henshaw lined up Matteo Pratichetti to perfection, smashing him in the chest and causing him to knock on, before Matt Healy mopped up to run in from distance.

The six try hammering sets up a massive final weekend for Connacht with everything to play for, as they go in search of a sixth place finish.
