Result: Connacht 10-14 Gloucester
Gloucester hold on to beat Connacht on the road in the Heineken Cup.

Gloucester have held on to beat Irish side Connacht on the road in the Heineken Cup this afternoon.

Fly-half Freddie Burns fired Gloucester ahead through a pair of first-half penalties, before James Simpson-Daniel's try gave them an unanswered 11-point lead.

However, Niall O'Connor kicked Connacht back into contention after the half-hour mark by converting a Gavin Duffy score.

O'Connor added a penalty after the interval to reduce the deficit to one point, but the home side couldn't make it count. Burns added a penalty in the final ten minutes to put the result beyond doubt.
