Meanwhile, Tim Visser scored a hat-trick as Harlequins hammered a hapless and still winless London Irish at The Stoop.

Round six of the Premiership kicked-off at Kingsholm on Friday night as Sale visited Gloucester.

Sione Kalamafoni came into the Gloucester side for England number eight Ben Morgan and duly proved the match-winner scoring two tries as the hosts edged to a 23-19 victory.

Two tries from Nev Edwards had seen the Sharks lead but Kalamafoni crossed twice to restore the hosts' lead.
