Connacht record big win over Treviso

Pat Lam's Connacht side produced a clinical display to put Treviso to the sword running in seven tries in the process. 

Ian McKinley gave Treviso an early 3-0 lead but that's as good as it got for the visitors.

Tom McCartney scored the first try for the home side, powering over from close range.

In the second half, Connacht continued to turn the screw with Cooney, Roux and Carty rounding up the scoring for the home side. Flammini touched down for a consolation try for the Italians.
