Billy Newman and Zebo added tries on 18 and 30 minutes before Michael Keyes finished a superb break by Cyprien Jouve to leave the half-time score 25-0.
Simon Zebo finished a good passing movement with a try in the right corner after 34 minutes and he added the points when Con added another try before the break after Peter Kelleher touched down from an unstoppable maul. However, College kept the game alive with a try by Mike Lenihan in injury time.
Zebo and David O’Driscoll stretched the lead to 37-0 in the first 10 minutes of the second half. Zebo scored a scorcher through the middle and converted on the hour mark.
