Ronaldson is Connacht’s trump card

Treviso 6 Connacht 9

They had to settle for a draw last weekend against Cardiff Blues and they will now head into next weekend’s opening game in the European Challenge Cup on a high as three penalties from Craig Ronaldson saw them win in Treviso for only the second time.

Treviso got an early edge when Kiwi Jayden Hayward, one of the many wholesale summer changes, landed a penalty from 38 metres on the right after six minutes.
