Connacht picked up their fourth victory of the Guinness Pro 12 season with a narrow victory at Benetton Treviso.

Jayden Hayward had the Italian side in front with a penalty. But Craig Ronaldson replied with two of his own on 17 and 30 minutes.

Hayward converted another penalty just before half-time to leave the scores locked at 6 - 6.

A low-scoring second half went to Connacht however as Ronaldson added another penalty on 67 minutes.

The win lifted the province into fourth spot prior to the Munster result at home to Scarlets.
