- 3859
Benetton breezed past Stade Français at the Stade Jean Bouin scoring seven tries as they went on to claim a 20-44 in the opening round of the European Rugby Challenge Cup.
Benetton raced into a 8-25 lead at half time thanks to tries from Toa Halafihi, Dewaladt Duvenage, Leonardo Sarto and Jayden Hayward.
However, the game was soured by the actions of Stade Francais flanker Charlie Rorke who was sent off shortly after half time.
Rorke, who was making his debut for Stade Francais, was caught grabbing the nether regions of Benetton winger Leonardo Sarto with the winger's reactions leading to a red card as well.

Tommaso Allan, Frederico Ruzza and Alberto Sgarbi all scored further tries to seal the victory for Benetton with Adrien Lapegue scoring a consolation for the hosts.
Rorke could now face a hefty ban with Joe Marler being handed a 10-week ban for a similar offence during the 2020 Six Nations.
