Perpignan overcome Treviso

Treviso 17 Perpignan 29

Perpignan kept the pressure on London Irish at the top of Heineken Cup Pool One after coming back to beat Treviso in Italy.

The hosts had threatened to cause an upset early on at Stadio Comunale di Monigo and took a lead into half-time thanks to a try by Benjamin De Jager and the boot of Marius Goosen.

But the French team responded through touchdowns by Viliami Vaki, Damien Chouly, Adrien Plante and Mickael Ladhuie to overpower the group minnows.

Today’s victory leaves the Catalans just a point behind the Guinness Premiership side at the top of the group after two wins apiece, and the pair will face off in the next round of matches at Madejski Stadium on December 9.
