LONDON (Reuters) - Gloucester survived a nail-biting finale to the European Challenge Cup final to beat Edinburgh 19-13 on a highly-charged night at The Stoop on Friday.

The Premiership side were in control thanks to a Billy Twelvetrees try and 14 points from the boot of former Edinburgh scrumhalf Greig Laidlaw but some ill-discipline nearly allowed the Scottish team to snatch an unlikely victory.
