Replacement Alberto Sgarbi then juggled with theball before getting it under control to touch down in the corner as Treviso reduced the deficit to 43-15.
And Hughes, 20, had a nightmare start, slashing at a short Steyn delivery off the fourth ball of the first over and only succeeding in getting a faint under-edge through to Mark Boucher.
So by gettingtheball forward and missing out the midfield a direct-football team not only puts the opposition defence under pressure but it also reduces the number of turnovers close to its own goal.
