Frawley's debut try seals bonus-point win for Connacht

Newcomer Ciaran Frawley delivered a decisive late try to propel Connacht to a 22-19 victory over Benetton in Treviso, securing their opening triumph of the United Rugby Championship campaign. The fixture began at a frantic pace with a flurry of first-half scores, featuring early tries from Cian Prendergast and Sean O'Brien for the visitors alongside a response from Bautista Bernasconi.

After a competitive and physical second period that included another score by Bernasconi for the hosts, Frawley exploited space on the flank in the closing minutes to seal both the contest and a bonus point for Wayne Pivac's squad.
