Sam Davies starred for Ospreys as they continued their impressive start to the Guinness PRO12 season with an emphatic 64-10 win over Benetton Treviso.

The Welsh side are the first team to have secured maximum points from the first three games, after earlier wins against Zebre and defending champions Connacht.

Fly-half Davies was at his creative best as he set up tries for Ben John and Jeff Hassler in the first half during a hot 15-minute spell where Ospreys ran riot and scored four times.

And they continued after the break as Dafydd Howells, Keelan Giles and Alun Wyn Jones all scored to rack up the points in a comprehensive win.

Ospreys were boosted beforehand by the return of Wales internationals Jones and Dan Biggar to the match-day squad, with both set to make their first appearances of the season.

But the match did not get off to a good start as flanker Tyler Ardron was injured in the seventh minute and forced to come off on his 50^th appearance for the club.

Treviso were physical in the early stages and forced Ospreys back, as both sides exchanged penalties in a slow start.

Ospreys soon got their backs on the ball though, and Davies superbly set up John with a subtle late pass which released the centre through a gap to touch down under the posts.

Hooker Sam Parry, who scored a hat-trick earlier this season, scored minutes later as he powered over from close range after the Ospreys pack forced Treviso into a series of errors, before Davies released winger Hassler with another smart pass.

And the bonus point was secured before the interval as Dan Evans capitalised on some good work by Howells and captain Tom Habberfield to score.

Howells’ acrobatic finish six minutes into the second half inflicted more pain on Treviso, and it was a sign of things to come for the Italian team as replacement hooker Luca Bisi was sin-binned.

It got worse minutes later when a penalty try was awarded and Ian McKinley was show a yellow for a high tackle on Habberfield.

Biggar and Jones then came off the bench to a rapturous reception, and the fly-half was soon on the board as he converted the penalty try seconds later.

He was busy again soon after as Giles showed off his potential by side-stepping his way through to score his first Ospreys try on his debut, before Ma’afu Fia also powered over.

Jones wrapped it up in the final 10 minutes with his first try of the season, before Treviso scored in the final minute through Dean Budd – who charged down a Rhys Webb kick and sprinted upfield.
