Bowe stars for Ospreys
Related Articles
06 January 2008
Ireland wing Tommy Bowe set the tone by scoring three of his four tries in 23 minutes as Ospreys eased past their previous best Heineken Cup victory of 48-17 against Ulster last season.
Scotland international Nikki Walker added a try double and flanker Jonathan Thomas also touched down before the break. The second period proved more of a contest as Treviso restricted Ospreys to a Lee Byrne try during the third quarter, but substitute Shane Williams then pounced before replacement hooker Ed Shirvington and Bowe completed the rout with touchdowns nine and 10.
Fly-half James Hook booted nine conversions - while Treviso had to content themselves with an early Marius Goosen try and Andrea Marcato's 39th-minute penalty.
Treviso will do wonders to avoid another hefty defeat in next weekend's return fixture, but Ospreys know their quarter-final ambitions should rest on the outcome of January appointments with Perpignan and Leicester.
