Zebre 42

Munster 33

ZEBRE HAVE BEATEN Munster for the first time in their history, the Italians shocking the province after a brilliant team performance at the Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi. 

The teams traded six tries in an open first-half, Munster scoring the first through Gavin Coombes before two quick-fire Zebre tries put the Italians in the driving seat, with Munster then scoring three tries between the 30th and 40th minute to lead by 13 at half-time.

Yet a disastrous second half saw Munster collapse, conceding 24 unanswered points as Zebre stormed back to claim a deserved bonus-point win. 

The 42′s award-winning team produces original content that you won’t find anywhere else: on GAA, League of Ireland, women’s sport and boxing, as well as our game-changing rugby coverage, all with an Irish eye.

    Strange how we tend to associate the acts of people with buildings or places associated with the criminals or their crimes. We all do it so I can understand why they tore the house down, but realistically there was nothing different about that house than any other in the area, that a horrific crime was committed there was the responsibility of the murderer, not the house in which he lived & murdered.

    I don’t know if the family still live in the area, but I can imagine if they pass by the house it must feel like stabbing to heart knowing what most likely happen there. Houses represent a lot more than bricks and stones, no one would ever want to live there.

    I agree, and I wouldn’t want to live there either, just find it strange is all.
