  1. Gloucester 10-36 Sharks

    Sara Orchard
    Rugby union commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    You can hear the boos just raining around.

    It's like a pantomime going off the way they are feeling about the referee.

  2. Gloucester 10-36 Sharks

    Gloucester are almost out on their feet now. They know there's no coming back in this one.

    They just don't want it to get messy in this final 13 minutes.

  3. Missed penalty: Gloucester 10-36 Sharks

    Siya Masuku

    A collector's item.

    Siya Masuku misses for the first time with the boot tonight as he drags a penalty wide.

    Sharks have enough points in the bag though.

  4. Gloucester 10-36 Sharks

    Adam Hastings trips Grant Williams as the Sharks man tries to race onto a loose ball and it's another penalty to the South Africans.

    There are some glum faces in the Gloucester crowd.

  5. 'The lesson continues'

    The lesson continues.

    Gloucester are being punished every time.

    No bad side gets to a final but what they are being taught is that if you make mistakes - and Gloucester have been making mistakes all season - you get punished at the top end. That's what's happening today.

  6. try

    Try: Gloucester 10-36 Sharks

    Makazole Mapimpi, con Masuku

    Makazole Mapimpi scores for SharksPA Media

    Magnificent.

    Gloucester's joy is very short lived.

    Siya Masuku places a pinpoint kick over the top, Makazole Mapimpi collects the ball in space and dives over.

    The outstanding Masuku makes it seven kicks out of seven with the conversion to take his own points tally to 19.

    Surely the European Challenge Cup is heading to the southern hemisphere now.

  7. 'If they go for it and get rinsed, so be it'

    Gloucester 10-29 Sharks

    Paul Grayson
    Former England fly-half on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    No mystery of what Gloucester have to do.

    They've got to go full boar, full gas, after everything they can get and if they get carried off on their shield having gone for it and got rinsed, then so be it.

    There's no second chances, no holding back now.

  8. try

    Albert Tuisue, con Hastings

    Hope!?

    Albert Tuisue is driven over and Gloucester have an instant reply.

    Adam Hastings makes sure it's a seven-point score.

    More needed...

    Andrew Priestley: In true South African rugby style, the Sharks weathered an early opposition storm before turning the screw, and the game, at the set-piece and converted that into points in the scoreboard. A tale as old as time.

  10. Sharks? More like pythons

    Gloucester 3-29 Sharks

    Simon Devereux
    Former Gloucester forward on BBC Radio Gloucestershire

    It's like a python snake. It's strangling the life out of the game; the Sharks and how they are going about it.

    They are pragmatic side. When they get a sniff of blood, they up the tempo and intensity and we are seeing it now.

  11. try

    Try: Gloucester 3-29 Sharks

    Aphelele Fassi, con Masuku

    That could be it.

    Gloucester hold Sharks up on the try-line, but the ball is recycled by the South Africans - Grant Williams shows quick hands to release Aphelele Fassi and he bursts through to touch down under the posts.

    Siya Masuku adds two more points.

  12. Penalty: Gloucester 3-22 Sharks

    Siya Masuku

    Six out of six for Siya Masuku as he sends this latest penalty straight through the middle.

  13. Gloucester 3-19 Sharks

    Santi Carreras collides with Makozole Mapimpi in mid-air as both go for a high ball and Carreras comes off worse after a heavy landing.

    He's back on his feet in a few moments but it's another penalty to Sharks in kickable distance.

  14. Gloucester 3-19 Sharks

    Sara Orchard
    Rugby union commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Gloucester thought they caught the Sharks napping.

    They just got it.

  15. Penalty: Gloucester 3-19 Sharks

    Siya Masuku

    Another penalty won by Sharks at the scrum.

    I'd say I knew what the infringement was, but I'd be guessing.

    Siya Masuku sends through an easy three points in front of the posts to stretch the lead to 16 points.

  16. 'Tremendous defence'

    Gloucester 3-16 Sharks

    Simon Devereux
    Former Gloucester forward on BBC Radio Gloucestershire

    That was tremendous defence.

    16-3 down, having just gone half the length and you suddenly find yourself in the corner.

    The Gloucester crowd all scattered around this ground making a big noise.

  17. Gloucester 3-16 Sharks

    Turnover! Ruan Ackermann gets a hand on the ball in the breakdown and finally the Sharks pressure is relieved.

    It'll be another scrum with a Gloucester put in, but they're only metres in front of their own try-line.

    Encouragement for the Gloucester fans packed into the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

    Sharks are encamped inside the Gloucester 22...

    Scrum between Gloucester and SharksGetty Images

    Trevor in York: I’m afraid this the result of this game has already been decided by scrum dominance - so boring, surely not the way to entice new converts to the game . Also SA teams should never be playing in the European cup - absolute joke.

  20. Gloucester 3-16 Sharks

    Sharks intercept a loose ball and are on the charge through the electric Grant Williams.

    They work it left and are within 10 metres of the Gloucester try-line...
