RUGBY EUROPEAN
CHALENGE CUP
WORSTER 22-34 GLOSTER
TWELVETREES GETS
BONUS POINT TRY
Dean Hammond's try for the hosts was replied to by
Gloucester's Henry Purdy to ensure a 10-10 half-time scoreline.
Purdy's second try was soon followed by Rob Cook going over
as last year's winners began to take control.
Mike Daniels closed the gap but Stephen McColl and Billy
Twelvetrees went over to secure Gloucester's win, while Darren O'Shea grabbed a
consolation
Gloster are one of the teams to watch out for the European Challenge
Cup
AGEN 20-40 GRENOBLE
MINGOT SECURES BIG
WIN FOR GRENOBLE
The visitors got off
to the perfect start as it took less than a minute for Xavier Mignot to crash
over and record the first score .Sona Taumalolo scored the first of his three
tries on the night after 12 minutes to extend the early lead, and veteran
Tongan added his second before the half hour, with Agen's only response coming
in the form of a Bautista Guemes penalty.
The 34-year-old completed a first-half hat-trick six minutes
later to secure the bonus point and give Grenoble a 25-point lead at the break,
but Agen launched a remarkable fightback in the second half to move to within
eight.
First Marc Baget went over the cut the deficit, before Marc
Barthomeuf and Marius Deguilhem scored as the hosts threatened to complete the
most unlikely of comebacks.
However, it was not to be as a penalty try and a second
score from Mignot secured a 40-20 victory for Grenoble to ensure that they kept
up the pressure on Edinburgh and London Irish in Pool 5.
This result seems to against all systems of French Rugby as
traditionally the home team is the one that wins
