Griffin seals gutsy Connacht win

- By Rob Paxton

CENTRE Eoin Griffin rounded off a powerful second-half display as Connacht came from behind to beat Treviso on their own patch.

In a tight game, Treviso opened the scoring on 36 minutes, when scrum-half Tito Tebaldi touched down with fly-half Marty Banks converting.

The visitors responded four minutes after the restart when prop Finlay Bealham crossed, but winger Monty Ioane extended Benetton’s advantage when he collected a 58th-minute cross-field kick and sprinted over.

Cart converted a try by flanker Jarrad Butler and added a 71st minute penalty before Griffin (right) sealed the win.
