Cardiff Blues 31 Gloucester 30: Gareth Anscombe showed nerves of steel to secure Cardiff Blues' second European Challenge Cup title in an unforgettable 31-30 comeback win over Gloucester at Bilbao's San Mames Stadium. In response, Gloucester winger Trinder scored from Billy Burns' pinpoint crossfield kick for the first of the night's six tries. Following Callum Braley's terrific try-saving tackle on Scully, Cardiff forced a second kickable penalty which 21-year-old fly-half Evans slotted over, 15 minutes in. The second period was only 50 seconds old when Cardiff scrum-half Williams dribbled through from an Anscombe kick and beat Braley to touch down. Although the touchline conversion was pulled wide, Smith's chasing down of Tom Marshall saw the Gloucester winger pinged for not releasing and Anscombe emerged as Cardiff's late hero.
