That brings an end to round two of the Champions Cup which now takes a break until after Christmas with teams returning to domestic action.
Harlequins racked up 68 points against Bayonne, Bristol scored 61 against Pau and Northampton reached a half-century in a big win over Bulls in a high-scoring day.
Bath lost 45-34 in a helter skelter match at Toulon, while Edinburgh didn't score a point in defeat at Castres.
There was entertainment everywhere you looked in a weekend that will be remembered for Glasgow's stunning comeback from 21-0 down to beat the mighty Toulouse.
Thanks for your company over the past three days and we'll see you again soon!

FT: Bristol 61-12 Pau
Pau scrum-half Dan Robson speaking to Premier Sports:
"There’s no excuse, we can’t hide behind the amount of changes.
We conceded 60 points which isn’t good enough for this competition.
"It’s the first
time in the competition for a while but we need to take a big look at ourselves
and we need to be better and give this competition the respect it deserves as
today I don’t think we did that.
"The effort is always there it’s just the skill
level. We dropped off and made a lot of mistakes against a quality Bristol team
and they are going to punish you. We’ve got to not give them as many easy tries
as we did.
"We need to understand the jump in quality from Challenge Cup to Champions
Cup and after the last two weeks I hope we will understand it because we can’t
put out another performance like that."

FT: Bristol 61-12 Pau
Bristol Bears forward Benjamin Grondona speaking to Premier Sports:
"It was a beautiful performance, I’m really
happy, we worked hard, backed each other and very happy with the result.
"We did
our jobs, stayed with the plan and played what was in front of us, I enjoyed
that. Our defence was class that is how we start our momentum.
"The boys are class
they teach me and I learn from them. We focus on next week now a big game against Harlequins
away at the Big Day Out and then we will be ready when we are back in January (for the Champions Cup)."
Like we've seen in a few team selections this weekend, this is not Pau's first 15 out there.
They have actually been the surprise package of the Top 14 this season, beating the likes of Bordeaux and sitting second in the league behind only Toulouse.
But if this was your first look at them you wouldn't know it.
It should be another Bristol try - I'm not quite sure how it isn't!
All Bears prop Lovejoy Chawatama has to do is reach to pop the ball over the whitewash but it kind of gets stuck next to his body and even at the second attempt he can't get it over the line!
There were a few smirks around there - you can laugh at those when you're 33 up I suppose.
