Benetton had prop Ivan Nemer carried off with an injury early on and soon after Connacht got the scoreboard ticking over when fly-half Ioane dived over in the corner after the ball went quickly through the hands. Cathal Forde added the extras.<\/p>\n
The score was followed by a television match official (TMO) review which resulted in visiting centre Malakai Fekitoa receiving a yellow card for a shoulder to the head of Tierney-Martin in the build-up to the touchdown.<\/p>\n
Jacob Umaga got Benetton off the mark with a penalty but after a fine flowing attack after a line-out midway through the first half Ioane off-loaded to Naughton who ran in for his side’s second try as the hosts made use of their one-man advantage.<\/p>\n
Connacht wing Chay Mullins was then sin-binned for a deliberate knock-on, before Onisi Ratave went over in the corner but a TMO review revealed that the wing had a foot in touch before grounding the ball over the line.<\/p>\n
The Italian side got off to a flying start in the second half when Lynagh nipped in to score in the 42nd minute after a darting run and off-load from Tommaso Menoncello. <\/p>\n
Benetton flanker Michele Lamaro then became the third player to be yellow-carded, this time for a high challenge, after a TMO review.<\/p>\n
The home side made good use of their numerical advantage when a quick kick led to Tierney-Martin barging over beside the post from close range, Forde kicking the additional two points.<\/p>\n
Replacement Fiachna Barrett, making his URC bow off the bench, got the ball down but the try was disallowed for a foul in the build-up.<\/p>\n
The bonus-point try was not long in arriving however as with six minutes remaining, number eight Jansen gathered the ball from the scrum and burrowed through the Benetton defence to score.<\/p>\n
A late try from Alessandro Garbisi, converted by Umaga, proved to be a consolation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Benetton had prop Ivan Nemer carried off with an injury early on and soon after Connacht got the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":164671,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-165016","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-rugby","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165016","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165016"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165016\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/164671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165016"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
