Forgot about it until now but Niyi probably crocked himself when he was smashed by their 12 for their try, you can see him clutching his knee on the highlights video that just went up.

Great performance and I really enjoyed it. A real clinical edge. Opposition poor though. Absoutely massive must win game next week

White protected for the last two week, will be surely back next week. will be a big headache to drop one of AhYou/Bealham/Loughney, who all were good today, especially the last one IMO

Professional display. Started well, weathered most of what Treviso had to throw at us and then with the wind advantage in the 2nd half they were always going to find it difficult to get out. Good to see us sticking to the basics in the 2nd half and not over-elaborating. Rolling maul was effective so we used it to get the job done.

Once we got the bonus point, we kept our standards fairly high which we hadn't done in games earlier this season which were wrapped up early.

Everyone got a run out and we got a chance to boost our confidence at home again after a couple of disappointing performances.

Cardiff is a another big one next weekend. Win that and we'll be in a good position heading into the next break.

Attendance wasn't great but was never going to be but good day all round. Roll on next weekend!

Also just realized that we've now blasted through our previous total points record with plenty of games still to come which is great, and even though we haven't moved up the table we're legitimately keeping pressure on fourth and fifth placed Leinster and Ospreys. In that context the last game of the season could be an eight pointer!

Great win! That will be a big morale booster and that result could be the difference between 6th and 7th. It's going to be close between us and Scarlets so points difference could be a factor.

Great result, I knew we could and should beat Treviso but didn't think we'd go over 50 points in doing it.

And that's 4 tries after 55 mins :woohoo:

Another maul, Buckley at the back this time.

34-5 now, but we're really turning the screw and could get 50

MASSIVE maul all the way from the 22 for our second try :blink:

20-3 after 46 mins.Heenn dots it down.

Agree with Magpie, played a lot of good rugby in the first half, just in the wrong places.

We need to stop trying to score from inside our 22. Perhaps now that we have the wind we will kick for territory.

We are making lots of half breaks, so there are tries there.

The run and pass by Healy for that try was beautiful :lol: He's such a good player :woohoo:

7-0 after 10 mins, TOH getting the touchdown

Many heading in to watch England game at the Sportsground? Will prob head in for half 2ish.

T'morrow is 5 points or nothing. For the 7th play-off spot, we need them. For 6th, it depends on Cardiff Glasgow Ulster and Ospreys so unsure to bet now we can get 3 out of those 4. 2 Play-off games in Galway would already be a huge achievement

Treviso are so so poor away from home that we really can't allow them a chance. As long as Connacht keep their discipline, carry out their respective jobs and minimise mistakes it should be fine

Treviso missing a lot but watching them last week they were relatively impressive in attack and were very competitive up front. When Cardiff put some phases together they looked like they had their measure but Cardiff were so disjointed on the evening Treviso were able to profit.

Coming away minus a number of key players and with players moving positions throughout the backline I'm sure their game plan will be fairly limited. Watched a bit of them away to Ulster a few weeks ago and they made it tough for Ulster for 50-60 minutes before Ulster ran in a flurry of late tries. As always with these kind of games, we have to make sure we get the game won first and if we do that the opportunities for tries will appear as the game wears on.

Won't take this one for granted though. I remember them winning at the Sportsgrounds a few years ago and would definitely rate it as one of the most depressing evenings supporting Connacht.
