Edinburgh 45 - 10 Benetton Treviso

Duncan Hodge's men ran seven tries against Benetton Treviso to secure their first bonus-point 45-10 win of the 2016-17 Pro12 season at the BT Murrayfield Stadium on Friday.

Edinburgh took early control of the game with a try on the seventh minute and by the 32nd minute, the Scottish club had already secured the bonus-point.

Wing duo Damien Hoyland (4, 29) and Tom Brown (50, 70) scored a double, while openside-flanker Hamish Watson (7), blindside-flanker Magnus Bradbury (32) and fullback Blair Kinghorn (81+3) scored a try each.

Fly-half Jason Tovey managed to convert five out of seven tries.

In response, lock Marco Fuser (44) was the lone try scorer for the Italian side. Fly-half Tommaso Allan successfully converted Fuser's try while also scoring a penalty.

However, Treviso's response fell well short by 35 points as Edinburgh got back to winning ways following three back-to-back defeats.

The Scottish side will now face Zebre at the BT Murrayfield Stadium while Benetton Treviso will face the Glasgow Warriors at the Scotstoun Stadium next weekend.
