Gloucester hold off Connacht rally to reach challenge cup semi-finals

Gloucester survived a frantic finish to end Connacht's unbeaten run in the European Challenge Cup with a 33-28 quarter-final win at the Sportsground.

Replacement Billy Twelvetrees' 77th-minute penalty proved to be the final score of an eight-try thriller, as last year's runners-up set up a home semi-final against Aviva Premiership rivals Newcastle Falcons next month.
