Heineken Cup: Treviso 7-44 Munster Treviso 7-44 MunsterMunster ran in six tries to beat Treviso comfortably in their Heineken Cup encounter at Stadio Comunale di Monigo. Keith Earls touched down in each half while Denis Hurley, Donncha O'Callaghan, Paul Warwick and Donnacha Ryan also scored, with Ronan O'Gara adding 12 points in an emphatic victory.Alessandro Zanni grabbed an interception score but the Italian champions never looked likely to win this one. The result leaves Munster seven points clear at the top of Pool One, ahead of ÂNorthampton Saints.Treviso had proved tough opponents in Italy having beaten Perpignan in the opening round of the group stage and pushed Northampton hard. However from the moment the fly-half Marius Goosen missed their first scoring chance with a penalty on two minutes, they were always struggling to remain in the game.Munster took control of the tie after scoring three tries in the space of eight minutes. A break by Earls was followed by Paul O'Connell's pass to Hurley who ran in for his first Heineken Cup try, in the fourth minute.Earls was then rewarded for his earlier break when he was on the end of Doug Howlett's attack from deep to double the lead on six minutes. The third try Âfollowed swiftly as the ball moved through several pairs of hands before O'Callaghan passed to Niall Ronan before staggering to his feet to receive the return pass to score on 11 minutes.O'Gara had missed his first two conversion attempts but this proved to be third time lucky, and he added a penalty to put his side 20-0 up after 16 minutes.Treviso had a brief spell with the upper hand and looked effective in the scrum and their scrum-half Simon Picone went close before his opposite number, Tomás O'Leary, had his pass intercepted by flanker Zanni, who had the legs to run in from halfway.Goosen converted to reduce the lead to 20-7 but Munster got back on track before half-time. O'Gara kicked a second penalty before his pass allowed Warwick to break clear, kick ahead and beat two defenders to the bouncing ball beyond the try line. That wrapped up the bonus point for Munster, six minutes before the break.Even at 30-7 down, Treviso held Munster for 20 minutes of the second half. However Jean de Villiers broke the second-half deadlock when his burst allowed Earls to grab a second try. O'Gara converted for 37-7 on 63 minutes.The replacement Damien Varley thought he had scored his first Heineken Cup try but was ruled to have knocked on over the line. But he was involved in the game's final attack, in which Ryan touched down for Munster's sixth try.Heineken CupTrevisoMunsterRugby unionguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
