In Pool C, Ealing qualified for the quarter-finals, beating local rivals London Scottish 35-15 at Trailfinders Sports Ground. The home team never looked troubled scoring early tries through Francis Moore and Will Montgomery, before a further effort from Craig Hampson in the second half.

Like Gloucester, they await the result of tomorrow’s match to determine who they will play in the next round.

Saracens’ 29-30 victory over local rivals Harlequins was not enough to qualify for the quarter-finals.

After repeated Quins phases, Wyn Jones drove over for the first points of the day, before Tobias Elliott fed Brandon Jackson for a quick-fire response.

Stephan Lewis restored Quins’ lead with a close-range effort before Alex Dombrandt ran through two Sarries defenders to dive over in the corner.

Tries for Max Eke and Elliott either side of half-time put Sarries ahead, before Tyrone Green broke down the wing to restore Quins’ lead.

Jack Bracken responded for the away side, before a late penalty kick from Louie Johnson sealed Sarries’ victory.
