Stade Français beat Gloucester 25-17 in the European Challenge Cup final at Murrayfield on Friday.

Former Bok flyhalf Morné Steyn came off the French club's bench to kick a conversion and then a penalty that sealed the win.

Stade Français fought back from 10-0 down after an interception try to Jonny May and a conversion and penalty from Billy Burns.

Sergio Parisse got his side back into the game with a try on the half-hour mark and the teams went into the break locked at 10-10.

Jonathan Danty put Stade Français ahead with a 57th-minute try and when Geoffrey Dumayrou dived over with nine minutes to go, and Steyn kicked the conversion, they had a 12-point lead.

Steyn then slotted a penalty, and while Ross Moriarty scored a late consolation try for Gloucester, it was Stade who celebrated their first European title.
