This will be a fight as neither team are showing potential like they had done in the past I think that home advantage will make a huge difference in this fixture I think that Zebre will lose out on a bonus point but it will be defensive and Treviso will not get tries either

ULSTER V CONNACHT

Ulster: C Piutau; L Ludik, L Marshall, S McCloskey, J Stockdale; P Jackson, R Pienaar; A Warwick, R Best (capt), R Ah You; K Treadwell, I Henderson; C Ross, C Henry, R Wilson.
Replacements: R Herring, C Black, W Herbst, F van der Merwe, S Reidy, P Marshall, D Cave, T Bowe.

Connacht: T O'Halloran; N Adeolokun, R Parata, D Poolman, M Healy; J Carty, K Marmion; D Buckley, D Heffernan, F Bealham; Q Roux, J Cannon; S O'Brien, N Fox-Matamua, J Muldoon (capt).
Replacements: S Delahunt, T McCartney, JP Cooney, U Dillane, E McKeon, C Blade, C Gaffney, N Dawai.
This match is definitely a lot more even than it was a few years ago but I think that Ulster will win but I would not be surprised to see Connacht getting a bonus point here
