I'm assuming the absence of an announcement means this is not on this weekend.

Hopefully Connacht won't have to bear any cost for this debacle as I'm sure all told the cost of that trip is well into 5 figures, watching Zebre on Friday their pitch was pretty much unplayable near the sidelines so surely there had to be major questions over Treviso's pitch.

Anyway the positives of this are that hopefully Willie Faloon and Jason Harris-Wright might be back in contention by the time this match comes around again.

They initially seemed to be saying next weekend but it may be pushed out to the HC semi-final weekend now.

only 2 free weekends left to play this game, hopefully wont be pushed into midweek.

next weekend is free, both connacht and treviso aren't in the heineken cup and the weekend of 26,27,28 april is also free. i think the the connacht end of year dinner is on that weekend which is stupidly planned, why plan a end of season dinner when the season isnt over, how many other teams do this.
i understand players leave but if they cant stay a night or two after the last game then they dont want to go to the dinner badly enough.

Treviso's RaboDirect PRO12 match with Connacht has been postponed as a result of an unplayable pitch.

After heavy rain this week the conditions at the Stadio di Monigo were deemed unfit for play.
According to a statement from Treviso the game will not be rearranged for this weekend, with it set to be replayed in a weekend when the RaboDirect PRO12 takes a break for European action.

Thanks for the update swifty... In France hence night preview and had just find internet so was desperately looking for links. Bad for the team to go all the way to Italy for a suspended match.

GAME IS SUSPENDED

wont work till closer to kick off. connacht rugby say its been pissing rain all day

It's on SportItalia 2
They have streming on www.sportitalia.com/ but it only seems to have the news channel.
If anyone finds it, stick it up here.

Proud day for Flavin earning his 140 cap...some man, for one man!!

Willie Faloon is a big loss on recent form. Last week was a hugely disappointing performance if not result, I would hope for a strong performance this week. In the context of Connacht's end of season this is a very important game. 10th is looking quite likely at the moment, however a big result here could change everything. Even if its only a bonus point we need some points from the next two games to improve our away record. We have to start returning from away games against sides of similar standing with something to show for our efforts.

I hold no hope for us in this game.
I'm trying to be realistic. We rarely get anything from away matches, and at the moment I'm sick of getting my hopes up.

Glad to see Muldoon back at 6 and George at 8 and Macca in the second row. It gives the team a more settled look. McKeown at 7...I will withhold judgement. Can't see us winning this but a losing bonus point would be nice.

Only on Italian TV, hopefully there'll be a stream tomorrow evening

Is this going to be on the telly anywhere?

It's a tough match. However maybe there will be a few of the lads raring for some retribution?

Both sides know how important this match is in determining the positions between each other an Edinburgh at the season's end, so I imagine it could be hell for leather. I pity the ref.

I don't expect us to win. In fact I was more optimistic about the Munster game than this one. Treviso are very good at home and might privately be targeting a TBP win.

Our forwards need to front up for this game and the backs need to show more invention.

I am far more optimistic - and that is taking nothing away from Treviso who are a better side than we are. But last week must have served as a kick in the arse and I'm expecting a response. Treviso are on a roll, but rolls lose momentum pretty fast. They are due a loss. LBP at a minimum for me.
