Tehcnical director Christian Gajan during the week pleased his compatriot Brunel for the Italy victory but did not underline the absence of many internationals players in the Warriors squad as a main plus for the upcoming Zebre game. After the good performance of Orquera and Venditti with the Italy shirt in Rome last Sunday, he focused more into the offensive approach of his Zebre, searching to establish a good momentum after the last performances in Swansea in round 13 and in Galway in last Heineken Cup game three weeks ago when both times it left only inches to the first seasonal victory.
