  • London Irish-Ospreys

    60'’ Catt is on for Geraghty at fly-half. The player-coach will know they need to deprive the Ospreys a bonus point in order to reach the semis. At the moment that's not happening.

  • London Irish-Ospreys

    55'’ Lovely kick by Hook makes it 20-16 and the Ospreys are back in this.

  • London Irish-Ospreys

  • Worcester-Harlequins

    10'’ Quins have taken the lead with a try from flanker Chris Robshaw, which Chris Malone converts. 7-0 Quins.

  • London Wasps-Newport

    10'’ Wasps destiny is not in their hands today but they will want to post a decent win over Dragons non-the-less. Their season to date has been very poor and a good win will do them the world of good. Unlikely Glos will come away with nothing from Kingston Park - which Wasps are relying on - but if they do then McGeechan's side will want to make sure they've done their part.

  • London Irish-Ospreys

    9'’ It has been all Irish so far and Booth's side will feel they need to get something on the board from this period of pressure.

  • London Irish-Ospreys

    7'’ Williams up well in defence to bring an irish attack to an end and the Wales star hacks down field for a lineout just inside Irish half. Exiles win penalty and Hewat kicks them down into Ospreys 22.

  • London Irish-Ospreys

    5'’ First sustained attack of the game from the Exiles and Ojo almost wins the race to a Geraghty chip ahead. Williams scrambles back and Exiles have a lineout in Ospreys 22.

  • London Wasps-Newport

    3'’ Walder has given Wasps an early lead at Adams Park with a penalty. 3-0 Wasps.

  • London Irish-Ospreys

      Nice deep kick from Hewat pins ospreys back into their 22 but Hook responds with interest for another lineout on halfway.

  • London Irish-Ospreys

    1'’ Hewat gets the game started at the Madejski and an early line out to the Ospreys.

  • Worcester-Harlequins

      Second-placed Worcester can reach the next round if they defeat Quins and the Ospreys gain nothing from their trip to London Irish. Quins cannot progress, having already gone down in both their matches.

  • London Irish-Ospreys

      A draw for the Ospreys at the Madejski Stadium will be enough to secure them top spot in Pool C. The Exiles, currently third, still have a chance of going through. But they must beat the Ospreys and gain four more match points than the Welsh region, and at the same time Quins must beat the Warriors at Sixways.If all three teams finish on nine points, Worcester can still qualify if the Ospreys are kept try-less.

  • London Wasps-Newport

      If the Cherry and Whites lose and claim no bonus points, then Wasps will go through if they beat the Dragons. Conversely, if the Dragons beat Wasps with a bonus point, and Gloucester lose without a bonus point, then the Welsh region will go through.

  • Newcastle-Gloucester

      Undefeated Gloucester need just two match points from their visit to Newcastle to secure a spot in the semi-finals for the first time. A draw or win will see them through. Newcastle, who have lost both their games, cannot reach the semis.
