commento.</FONT></H1>
<H1 class=heading><FONT size=4>Treviso 14 v 19 Leinster</FONT></H1>
<H1 class=heading><FONT size=4><STRONG>Leinster</STRONG> completed their
pre-season tour of Italy with a narrow but deserved 19-14 victory over <FONT
style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: forestgreen" color=white>Treviso</FONT> on Saturday
evening.</FONT> </H1>
<DIV class=content>
<P>The visitors got off to a bright start and the opening try of the evening
came after two minutes when out-half Jonathan Sexton capitalised on some
excellent work by the pack to touch down in the corner. The St. Mary’s man
missed the conversion but made amends in the 16th minute when he slotted home
after Felix Jones sprinted clear to score. </P>
<P>Devin Toner was the instigator in that move by snatching a lineout and
feeding scrum-half Chris Keane who distributed the sweetest of passes to Sexton.
Brian O’Driscoll then released Jones on the flank and the former Ireland
Under-20 winger completed the move in the corner.</P>
<P>Leinster took that 12-0 advantage into the interval but Treviso, to their
credit, fought back with converted tries on 43 and 50 minutes.</P>
<P>The visitors pressed to regain the lead and it was substitute Rob Kearney who
gathered a well-worked kick and chase to race clear of the Italian defence.
Felipe Contepomi added the points to conclude a positive week’s work for the
Magners League champions in front of an animated home crowd.</P>
