Meanwhile, Clermont hammered Edinburgh 31-18 earning a try scoring bonus point so sit in second place in the pool with Gloucester close behind in third.

Gloucester’s director of rugby, George Skivington said: “we are starting to see people come back into training who haven’t featured for the team yet.
“Our internationals have had an opportunity to have a break and come back fresh, so there’s lot of energy.”
