Foley hails Munster support

Early scores from wing Ronan O'Mahony and prop David Kilcoyne had the Irish province coasting to victory but Treviso's powerful pack got their side back in the match, thanks to a drive-over try from Marco Lazzaroni.

Conor Murray ghosted through to score in the second-half before O'Mahony sealed the bonus-point and a comfortable win for Foley's side, who were already out of the Champions Cup.

"The support was excellent, it was unusual to be away and have 50 percent of the support. The boys really appreciate it, we had a great turnout at Thomond Park last week, and hopefully we can get something started again with their great support.

"It was a bit scrappy at times but I thought we started really well by getting the 14 points. We gave them a foothold back in the game and they got some dominance in the scrum at the end of the first half, which allowed them to build pressure on us as we conceded penalties and got a yellow card.

"I spoke at half-time about us having a serious lack of control, we made good breaks, but made poor decisions about when to pass the ball. It's just the lack of execution at times, the two scores for us came a bit early and we got a bit loose.

"We put a good physical stamp on it but after we scored a couple of tries, we thought we could score from anywhere – which is the wrong attitude to have," Foley said.
