Match Commentary

81'+133-12 End of second half
80'But they are unable to do anything with it and eventually Matavesi decides enough is enough and boots the ball into touch.

Gloucester deservedly take their place in the final in Bilbao next month. Newcastle started strongly but the hosts were the better team for 75 minutes, Matu'u's score in first-half stoppage time vital in breaking the Falcons' resistance.
80'Vellacott gets the ball out of the scrum but instead of booting it out, gives it to Charlie Sharples whose kick ahead of blocked to hand Falcons possession.
