Muldowney collects and Carty clears.
Hook gets us underway.
Both sides out on the field - we're just about to kick-off.
Like Gloucester, Connacht have also struggled for consistency in their domestic league, with four defeats in six games threatening their hopes of a top-six finish. Pat Lam has made 4 changes to the side who took a thumping from Munster last weekend, including the reintroduction of Irish international, Robbie Henshaw at centre. Despite underdog status, Connacht will be determined to upset the home fans this evening and steal a home semi-final. Kick off fast approaching - stay tuned!
Although Gloucester's Premiership form has been rather underwhelming this season, their European campaign looks promising. Humpreys' men were the only team to win all 6 of their pool games this season and tonight they'll be looking to brush past Connacht on their road to the Twickenham Stoop.
Welcome to Ultimate Rugby's live coverage of tonight's Challenge Cup quarter final, featuring Connacht and Gloucester in Kingsholm Stadium.
Come on Connacht!
