Tigers too strong for Treviso

18 January 2008
Winger Johne Murphy scored a hat-trick in the last 25 minutes and there were two apiece for Jordan Crane and Toby Flood. A penalty try and a Geordan Murphy touchdown completed the scoring.
Heyneke Meyer's visitors scored 43 unanswered points after a Ben de Jager try for the hosts had pulled them back to 17-16 nine minutes into the second half. It was one-way traffic from then on as Leicester put on a tremendous show for their travelling fans.
Meanwhile, Llanelli Scarlets' cup campaign lies in tatters after Stade Francais ran in four second-half tries to earn a 37-15 bonus-point victory at the Stade Jean-Bouin.
The Welsh region were only one point behind at the break in Paris but tries by Julien Saubade and Sergio Parisse (two) in the space of eight minutes just after the interval allowed Stade to romp home.
Full-back Lionel Beauxis, who put in a flawless kicking display in booting 17 points, notched the fourth try for the Parisians in the final minute as they made it two wins from two in Pool Four.
Llanelli, who have now lost their last nine games in the Heineken Cup, are all but eliminated after last weekend's home loss to Harlequins.
They scored a try in each half in the French capital, through Mark Jones and Ceiron Thomas, but they could not compete with Stade's power in the second half.
