The full-time whistle may have sounded on a pulsating Heineken Cup clash but the fans of both teams have been sharing stories and songs in the biggest beer garden in Italian rugby as the sun sets on a glorious autumn day at the Stadio di Monigo.
Tigers edged a thrilling game thanks to a late Alesana Tuilagi try. The wing scored with two minutes and 45 seconds left on the clock to give Tigers a 34-29 victory and a bonus point to begin life in Heineken Cup Pool 5.
There was also a try for Italy international Martin Castrogiovanni, who was named Heineken man-of-the-match. Castro was swamped by supporters as he made his way to his media commitments after the game with fans of Tigers and Treviso getting his signature and photograph.
The whole Tigers squad applauded the hundreds of Tigers fans who have made the trip to Italy this weekend and there was a fantastic reception for the Treviso players after the final whistle.
