Cardiff: Gareth Anscombe’s late penalty sealed a superb comeback for Cardiff Blues as they came from 14 points down to beat Gloucester 31-30 in a thrilling European Challenge Cup final on Friday.

Gloucester dominated the first half at the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, with superb tries from Henry Trinder and Mark Atkinson helping them to a 20-6 lead at the break. Cardiff, however, battled back, with scrumhalf Tomos Williams winning a frenetic chase to steal in under the posts early in the second half.
