**The Guinness PRO14 Rainbow Cup kicked off over the weekend and there was no shortage of entertainment.** From Connacht’s last-gasp win at Ulster on Friday night to Benetton ending their long wait for a PRO14 victory, it was an action-packed first round of action. Here, we take a look at five things we learned from the weekend’s matches. **Benetton back in the game** It has been a long season for Benetton so far, particularly in the PRO14. The men from Treviso failed to win a single match in the regular season, with their only two victories coming in the European Challenge Cup. Some of their performances have arguably merited more though – and they finally claimed a fully deserved victory thanks to a dazzling display against Glasgow Warriors on Saturday. A totally dominant first-half display laid the foundations for a stunning 46-19 victory and they will be full of confidence heading into back-to-back Italian derbies against Zebre.
