    Very interesting 21-21 and now 14 v 14 for the next 10 mins.

    Treviso's forwards are dominating up front. Making metres through the phases up front then getting the break when going wide. Simple game plan that's working excellently.

    Second round in a row where Treviso have brought the entertainment.

    Away win with 14 men for a majority of the match would be arguably the best result for any Italian team in cup history. Maybe the Toulouse win might trump it.

    I would have gone for 3 there with Tommy Allan's kicking.

    EDIT: Idiocy from Beneton blocking in front of the ball carrier. Can't see why they wouldn't try and take the 3 and the lead.

    Bit naïve from the Italians there. Should have gone for 3 probably and then when they were picking and going under the posts there were acres of space out wide.

    That was a GREAT try from Treviso - they really have been excellent in the second half.

    What was the red card for? Deserved?

    I was just saying that I wasn't that pushed on the daytime rugby today but this has been quality.

    Leicester Tigers are going to have some great ball carriers next season

    TG for that. Still dangerous for Treviso.

    I'll be raging if Scarlets get 5 points from this game.

    That is so unjust. Scarlets have been woeful.

    Have to give the Scarlets credit for that fightback. But I'm gutted.

    Devastating for Treviso. Didn't deserve to lose that.

    But they've shown big weaknesses in the Scarlets game. They're weak around the contact area.

    Twice treviso have lost it at the death now. Same happened to Zebre against Pau when miles ahead. Hard to take but they're getting better

    Amazing how a red card can seemingly galvanise a team. Scarlets still in this competition.

    That was a forward pass from Evans after that kick

    They are; they lost by a single point to a last minute try up in Ulster too when they were by far the better team.

    What the everloving **** was that at the start of the Toulon Bath game? A man with a Mike Tyson-like facial tattoo holding a pomeranian screaming some hype into a mic and getting responses from the crowd??
