Gloucester hold off a Castres comeback to reach the quarter-finals of the European Challenge Cup.
The Cherry and Whites have sought cup success amid a poor league run, having already won the Premiership Rugby Cup.
Gloucester have already marked their 150th anniversary by adding England's domestic cup to their cabinet by beating Leicester last month, but they are now eyeing a European final at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 24 May. And they showed plenty of intent as full-back Julien Dumora started and finished a pacy attack within three minutes to give the visitors the lead.
The impressive Mercer again ensured quick ball from a line-out to feed Llewellyn, who burst through three tackles to power over, and with Santi Carreras converting all three in windy conditions Gloucester had some daylight.
