Rugby: Bourgoin turn tables on Treviso to record first Heineken win

Bourgoin 35 Benetton Treviso 19

However, a quarter-final remains a remote possibility with a visit from Gloucester and a trip to Munster to come.

However, victory represented a significant improvement from the 42-33 defeat they suffered in Italy last weekend. The result rarely looked in doubt after they established a commanding 23-12 lead at the halfway point.

Sebastien Chabal scored two tries while man-of-the-match Mickael Campeggia and Kevin Zhakata also crossed for the home side. Treviso saw Brendan Williams, Denis Dallan and Franco Smith touch down.

Scorers for Bourgoin: Tries: Chabal 2, Zhakata, Campeggia. Cons: Peclier 3. Pens: Peclier 2. Drop Goals: Peclier.

Treviso: Tries: Williams, Smith, D. Dallan. Cons: Legg 2.
