Gloucester beat Quins to stay alive in LV Cup

Gloucester set up a nervous wait to see if they have qualified for the Anglo Welsh LV Cup Semi-finals by beating Harlequins 25-7 at Kingsholm.

The result moved Gloucester to the top of Pool One on 14 points but Saracens who are on 12 points with a game in hand play Saracens on Sunday.

Whoever finishes on top of Pool One will take the last Anglo Welsh LV Cup semi-finals place.

Dan Thomas, Jacob Rowan and Steph Reynolds all crossed, while Aled Thomas added ten points with the boot for the home side.

Ugo Monye’s try on the stroke of half-time gave already eliminated Quins some hope, but they were comfortably second-best.

Final Score Gloucester 25 (13) Harlequins 7 (7)
