• Stadio Fattori in L’Aquila becomes the 44th different venue to be used for a PRO14 encounter. This is only the second occasion that Zebre have moved a game away from Parma, losing 22-41 to Leinster at Reggio nell’Emilia in April 2013.

• Zebre have won only once since round 10 of the Championship: 19-11 in Connacht on 16 February.

• Dragons are without a win in the Guinness PRO14 since beating Southern Kings in Newport on 30 September, although they have drawn two fixtures since, both at home, to Ulster in round 10 and Glasgow in round 14.

• The Welshmen have not won on the road in the Guinness PRO14 since a trip to Treviso in March 2015.

• The last six matches between the two sides have all been won by the home side on the day whilst Dragons only victory away to Zebre came in February 2013 in Parma.
