PAU

The 34-year-old hooked up with the Top 14 club on a one-season deal following the 2019 World Cup in Japan, but he has not had the best of times, making just four league appearances (and one in the Challenge Cup) in an injury-hit campaign that was officially terminated on Thursday by French officials due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

Gloucester made wholesale changes from their league win over Northampton Saints last time out and were duly punished by the French outfit in Thursday's Pool Two clash.

Top 14 side Pau had lost their last 13 games in the European Challenge Cup but scored the first points of this year's edition, Daniel Ramsay diving for the line after 17 minutes and seeing the try awarded after a review, with the hosts soon extending their lead.
