Harlequins fluff their lines as Pool Six concludes
Harlequins were gifted the chance to make it into the final stages of the Heineken Cup last night but were denied by a solid, brutal Connacht side. Toulouse on the other hand would have been breathing a sigh of relief after Gloucester's young side ran riot at Kingsholm.
It was a day to remember for Bryan Redpath’s men as they triumphed over a star-studded Toulouse side which featured IRB Player of the Year, Thierry Dusatoir.
Nick Wood was put in the sin bin early on for Gloucester but the Cherry-and-Whites held strong as Jonny May charged down a rushed kick from Timoci Matanavou to score the opener for the hosts.
