Wily Australian Alan Gaffney was hardly turning cartwheels under the jet black Limerick sky after his side’s 51-0 demolition of lowly Benetton Treviso, but afforded himself a smile of satisfaction in the aftermath that see’s his team facing Gloucester after Christmas in what are surely the Pool 5 decider matches.

“On a slippery pitch like that it was hard to put any of our patterns together but we showed admirable patience and got the win and the bonus point.

“I’m very happy to be talking with two wins under our belts before Christmas and our games with Gloucester.”

Asked what satisfied him most, Gaffney said “our ability to carve open their defence and take our chances”.
