Scrumhalf Blade wrapped up the result, taking advantage of a red card for Benetton’s Kiwi secondrow Scott Scrafton, before Tommaso Menoncello and Dylan Tierney-Martin traded late scores.
Following the first of Carty’s five conversions, the visitors showed their threat out wide when English duo Jacob Umaga and Watson combined from a crossfield kick. Connacht were back in front when Bundee Aki’s inviting pass off a lineout put Boyle hurtling over for Carty to make it 14-7. A Carty penalty put 10 points between the sides before the break, and Bealham added another seven-pointer early in the second half. The initial surge came from slick handling by centres Aki and Tom Farrell.
