Harlequins-Stade Français

80’ Full time has been called at the Twickenham Stoop and although Stade Francais have gone there are secured the bonus point victory they needed, they crash out of the Heineken Cup as other victories fail to go their way

Harlequins-Stade Français

80+1’ Quins get themselves a well deserved consolation try with Jarvis finding Keogh on the right wing, before producing a stunning kick from the right touchline to add the conversion to their scoreline

Harlequins-Stade Français

73’ It is too little too late to earn Stade a spot in the quarter finals but they get their fourth try with Ignacio Corleto stealing an intercept ball and running unchallenged down the field for a try. Skrela adds his fourth conversion

Harlequins-Stade Français

70’ Skrela finally manages to stretch the Quins defence enough to run through a gap in the middle of the park and touch down in between the posts. The France flyhalf also adds the conversion

65’ Both matches have descended into scrappy affairs with the pitches, particularly at the Memorial Ground in Bristol, deteriorating fast with all the recent rain

Bristol-Cardiff Blues

53’ Blair extends the Blues lead to 17 points with a penalty kick curled around the near upright

Harlequins-Stade Français

43’ Tom Guest crosses over the line with the ball to get the Quins second half of to the perfect start. But the decision goes to the TMO who judges Guest to have just lost control of the ball before he touched it down

15:56 The second halves are now underway again

15:47 The half time whistle has gone both at the Stoop and in Bristol

Bristol-Cardiff Blues

40+2’ THE BLUES HAVE ANOTHER TRY! This time Gareth Thomas is the one with the moment of brilliance receiving the ball and heading out wide after spotting a gap on the wing. Sure enough Thomas finds the gap and dives over the line. Blair adds another stunning conversion to double the Blues lead

Bristol-Cardiff Blues

38’ TRY BLUES! Finally Blues get off the mark with their consistent pressure paying off scrum - Molitika picks the ball up from the bottom of the scrum and charges through to the try line. Blair adds the conversion

Bristol-Cardiff Blues

37’ Shanklin charges towards the line now on the right wing again for the Blues but somehow he loses the ball forward and it rolls away over the dead ball line

Bristol-Cardiff Blues

35’ Blues have a chance to get on the scoreboard once more with a penalty kick - but the ball bounces off the post and narrowlly misses the waiting Martyn Williams

Harlequins-Stade Français

32’ Stade snatch their second try through Argentine Hernandez and their are well on their way now to the bonus point victory they need to stand any chance of going through. Skrela adds a very clinical conversion

Harlequins-Stade Français

30’ Stade Francais extend keep their scoresheet ticking over with David Skrela adding a penalty to his conversion and Szarzewski's early try. 10-3 now to the visitors

Bristol-Cardiff Blues

27’ Martyn Williams is the latest player to think he has got the scoring underway in Bristol but the decision is sent to the TMO and Matt Salter's last ditch tackle is shown to have dragged Williams into touch just in the nick of time

Harlequins-Stade Français

25’ Stade Francais go over the line with Szarzewski after battering the Quins defence for some time before finally finding a way through the middle. Skrela adds the conversion and Stade are on their way

Bristol-Cardiff Blues

18’ Now it is the Blues turn to think they have opening the scoring but again the final pass from Shanklin to Roberts is judged to be forward again

Harlequins-Stade Français

6’ Fullback Luke Arscott thinks he has got Bristol off the mark and the celebrations begin but the referee calls the back judging the pass from Elliot to have been forward

Harlequins-Stade Français

3’ Quins have started strongly earning themselves an early penalty which Jarvis put over without too much trouble to gift his side a three point lead

1’ We are underway in Bristol as well

1’ Harlequins have got their match against Stade Francais underway at the Stoop

14:59 If the Blues win today then they are through. If they lose with a bonus point then they could still make it. For Bristol to progress, they must secure a bonus-point victory, deny Cardiff a losing bonus point and hope Quins can down Stade. The French go through if they beat out-of-form Quins and Bristol defeat the Blues, but fail to get a bonus point. If Bristol win, score four tries and deny Cardiff a losing bonus point, then Stade will need a bonus point of their own to reach the last eight. Clear?

14:53 Stick with us though because in about 10 minutes time we have the final two matches with three teams able to qualify from Pool Three

  The whistle has gone in both of our early games leaving Gloucester going through as top of pool two, and Ospreys s runner up

Bourgoin-Jallieu-Ospreys

80+7’ Sub Florian Denos crosses over for Bourgoin on the stroke of full time as consolation for the hosts while Parra converts

Gloucester-Ulster

80+7’ Ulster think they may have scored one last time but the decision goes to the TMO and the ball was not under control at the time leaving Gloucester with the 8 point win

Bourgoin-Jallieu-Ospreys

80+6’ James Hook adds the conversion and that is the win now for the Ospreys

Bourgoin-Jallieu-Ospreys

80+5’ Four tense minutes for Ospreys but finally the Welsh side manage to secure the win with Shane Williams finding sub Jonathan Thomas in space on his right, before putting him in for the try

Gloucester-Ulster

80+2’ Two time try-scorer Qera has also been sent to the bin at Kingsholm for use of the elbow but Ulster will be hard pressed to score twice in the next couple of minutes to snatch the win

Bourgoin-Jallieu-Ospreys

80+2’ Lee Byrne gets sent to the bin for the remaining time on the clock making things a little tense for the Ospreys

Bourgoin-Jallieu-Ospreys

80’ Over in France, things are not comfortable for the Ospreys either as Morgan Parra adds his name to the scoresheet with a penalty to bring the difference back to just 7 points

Gloucester-Ulster

80’ Gloucester finally secure the win with Lamb finding Narraway, who charges through for the touchdown. Again Lamb fails to add the conversion but it shouldn't matter now

Gloucester-Ulster

77’ Ulster hit back again out of absolutely nothing with Tommy Bowe getting his second of the afternoon. O'Connor adds the extras as well to leave the visitors just the three points behind with three minutes left on the clock

Bourgoin-Jallieu-Ospreys

71’ James Hook adds another three points to the Ospreys lead with another inch perfect penalty kick

Gloucester-Ulster

71’ Lamb misses his second kick since coming on leaving Gloucester to be content with just the 10 point lead

Gloucester-Ulster

70’ Gloucester score a bonus point-winning fourth try with a lovely move stemming from the line out. Lamb receives the ball from the lineout and sends the tunnel ball across to Simpson-Daniel. Sinbad finds Vainikolo, who in turn offloads to Balshaw on the outside of him. Balshaw turns on the after burners and races over the line. At 24-14 Gloucester are now out of one-score range

Gloucester-Ulster

59’ The introduction of Ryan Lamb, on as a replacement for Chris Patterson, brings a much needed injection of pace into the Gloucester game and Qera quickly goes over for his second try. Lawson starts the move collecting a high ball and racing towards the try line. He cannot get there on his own but, after much deliberation, has recovered to find Tindall with a ball from Vainikolo. Tindall sends a simple pass out to Qera, who only has to fall over for the try

Bourgoin-Jallieu-Ospreys

56’ Bourgoin hit back forcing themselves over the line with Karena Wihongi creditted as the man at the bottom of the pile of players. The decision goes to the TMO who awards the try. Laloo misses the conversion though so Bourgoin still trail 11-18

Bourgoin-Jallieu-Ospreys

49’ This time it is Bourgoin who think they have scored, through Matthieu Nicolas, only to be called back for a massive forward pass

Gloucester-Ulster

44’ Wallace adds the conversion to level things up with Gloucester, which as it stands would leave the Ospreys going though as top of the group with Gloucester in second

Gloucester-Ulster

44’ Ulster get themselves back in the mix with Andrew Trimble scoring their second try of the afternoon. Bowe collects a deep kick from Iain Balshaw before running at the Gloucester defence, chipping over the top and collecting. Good skill from the Ulster men sees the ball pass through the hands of Harrison, Wallace and Best before it reaches Trimble who races over the line

Bourgoin-Jallieu-Ospreys

43’ Sonny Parker thinks he has crossed over for a third Ospreys try but the referee calls them back for crossing/obstruction

Bourgoin-Jallieu-Ospreys

40’ The half time whistle has also gone over in France where the score is 18-6 in favour of the Ospreys

Gloucester-Ulster

40’ Paddy Wallace misses an absolute sitter and an opportunity to cut the 14-7 deficit just before the half time whistle goes

Gloucester-Ulster

36’ Things go from bad to worse for Ulster who have Mark McCrea sent to the sin bin for tackling a man off his feet

Gloucester-Ulster

34’ Patterson adds the conversion and the Cherry and Whites have themselves a seven point cushion

Gloucester-Ulster

34’ Gloucester get themselves back in the lead as their momentum from the scrum forces the Ulster defence back. In the end Alasdair Strokosch is the man who gets the ball to the ground in between the posts

Bourgoin-Jallieu-Ospreys

32’ The Ospreys extend their lead to 18 as they run riot in the Bourgoin 22. Again it is Hook who proves the catalyst for the move before finding Henson on his outside. Henson offloads to Lee Byrne, who injects a little pace and races over in the corner - just like Shane Williams a couple of minutes ago. This time Hook fails to add the conversion so the Ospreys will have to be content with just the 18-6 lead

Bourgoin-Jallieu-Ospreys

26’ Not for long though as Ospreys finally make their early pressure tell on get their opening touchdown. Tito makes the original break, and when the recycled ball comes to Hook he has both Alan Jones and Shane Williams outside him. The ball ends up in the hands of Williams, who is not going to be stopped from 10 minutes out, and races over the line in the corner. Hook adds the conversion to give the Ospreys a 13-6 lead

Bourgoin-Jallieu-Ospreys

23’ Laloo misses his first attempt on goal for the afternoon leaving things all square still

Gloucester-Ulster

21’ Isaac Boss breaks for Ulster before sending a high looping pass out wide to the right wing where Tommy Bowe is waiting. Bowe has far too much pace for Iain Balshaw and has a simple run-in before Wallace adds the conversion. 7-7!

Gloucester-Ulster

34’ Gloucester get themselves back in the lead as their momentum from the scrum really starts to hurt Ulster. In the end Alasdair Strokosch is the man who gets the ball to the gound in between the posts

Gloucester-Ulster

18’ Gloucester are off the mark as Akapusi Qera scores the first try of the afternoon. The ball is well worked to Mike Tindall, in the middle of the park, who spins through the tackle and is away. Qera goes with the England centre and is on hand to crash over the line when needed. Patterson, as is his way, makes light work of the conversion. 7-0 Gloucester!

Gloucester-Ulster

11’ Leslie Vainikolo is penalised for holding on but Paddy Wallace skews his first kick at the posts and Gloucester somehow escape without conceding

Gloucester-Ulster

9’ Olivier Azam and Rory Best are lucky to escape a spell in the sin bin after a bit of a fight and get a talking to from the ref

Bourgoin-Jallieu-Ospreys

8’ The Ospreys are penalised again at the breakdown and Laloo has a second easy kick to get Bourgoin three points clear at 6-3

Bourgoin-Jallieu-Ospreys

6’ James Hook hits back for the Ospreys almost immediately and, with the wind on his back and the sun behind him, has an easy kick to level things up.

Bourgoin-Jallieu-Ospreys

4’ Sebastien Laloo gets Bourgoin off to a good start confidently sending his first penalty kick attempt flying between the posts

13:04 Both matches are underway ...

12:59 Gloucester and Ospreys are both already secure of their quarter final spots but both sides will still be looking to win today as points will affect whether they qualify for home ties or not

12:54 Kicking off in just over five minutes are our first two matches - Gloucester v Ulster and Borgoin v Ospreys
