Four English, two Welsh and one team each from Ireland and Scotland progressed to the quarter-finals of the European Challenge Cup.

Gloucester, who topped the standings after the group stages, take on Connacht, while second-placed Exeter Chiefs face fellow Premiership side Newcastle Falcons. The winner of Gloucester-Connacht will host the victor in the all-Premiership clash in the semi-finals.

On the other side of the draw, Cardiff Blues host Newport-Gwent Dragons in an all-Welsh quarter-final and the winner of that game will travel to the winner of London Irish against Edinburgh for a semi-final.

The quarter-finals will be held over the weekend of Saturday April 4, with the semis a fortnight later. The final takes place at the Twickenham Stoop on Friday, May 1.
