Heineken Cup: Gloucester 29-21 Ulster:  Gloucester confirmed their place as the third-ranked Heineken Cup quarter-finalists with a five-try 29-21 triumph over Ulster who finished bottom of Pool Two.

Gloucester's first try, scored by Fijian flanker Akapusi Qera following a swivelling break by Tindall in the 18th minute was soon cancelled out by Tommy Bowe.

Alasdair Strokosch was next over the whitewash for Gloucester, stretching under the posts to cap a solid period of pressure, and Chris Paterson converted both.

Although they lost winger Mark McCrea to the sinbin, Ulster did not let up but were unable to add to their tally with Paddy Wallace suffering an off day and missing three penalties.

But they managed to find space for Andrew Trimble to go over four minutes into the second half, with Wallace's second conversion bringing Ulster level at 14-14.

Gloucester responded with two well crafted tries, both involving Simpson-Daniel.

Qera crossed for his second and Iain Balshaw, who had missed out twice earlier in the game due to poor passes, wrapped up the bonus point with nine minutes remaining.

Bowe's second try, converted by Niall O'Connor, a rallying finish from the visitors and Qera's yellow card set up a rousing finale.

But replacement back row Luke Narraway made the game safe with a well-worked try that used the width of the pitch and denied Ulster even a consolation point.

Ospreys fans were hailing their Kiwi connection after a nervy 28-21 win over Bourgoin gave them a long-awaited place in the Heineken Cup quarter-finals.

Needing a victory to go through as one of the two best runners-up, Ospreys coach Lyn Jones opted to use former All Black number eight Filo Tiatia as a midfield battering ram, and the ploy yielded two crucial first-half tries.

And while Tiatia was making huge yards with ball in hand, New Zealand-born centre Sonny Parker, playing at the back of the scrum in the set-pieces, produced a copybook defensive display in the second half to keep the home side out.

The win - the Ospreys' first ever in France - earns them a quarter-final away to Saracens in early April.

Wasps were dumped out of the Heineken Cup as Ronan O'Gara led Munster to a thumping 19-3 victory in treacherous conditions at Thomond Park yesterday.

Denis Leamy scored the only try of the game in the 76th minute while O'Gara weighed in with a flawless 14-point haul comprising of four penalties and a conversion.

Leinster's campaign came to an end after a 25-9 defeat by Leicester at a muddy Welford Road.

Two tries in the space of three first-half minutes from Brett Deacon and Seru Rabeni put Tigers in charge and they survived Julian White and Andy Goode being sent to the sin bin six minutes apart in the second half.

Leicester, twice winners of the competition and last year's beaten finalists, went into the game knowing they could not qualify for the last eight after defeat in Edinburgh seven days earlier.

But the visitors still had a chance, needing to win and hope that Toulouse slipped up at home to Edinburgh to qualify from Pool Six.

Toulouse didn't slip up as it happened, as they cruised into the quarter-finals after beating Edinburgh 34-10.
