Saracens 19-10 Ospreys: The Welsh region start well at a packed Vicarage Road but Alun Wyn Jones is denied an early try Saracens get back into the game and their ferocious defence keeps the Ospreys in check Saracens lead 6-3 at the break and a Francisco Leonelli try and a Glen Jackson drop-goal seal an historic win for the home side The defeat is a massive disappointment for the Ospreys, who were hoping to reach the final at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium Toulouse 41-17 Blues: Toulouse have the perfect start when Maxime Medard scores early but Jason Spice gets a try back for the Blues The score is 16-10 at half-time and a penalty from Jean-Baptiste Elissalde and a try for Maleli Kunavore put Toulouse in charge Ben Blair's converted try makes the score 26-17 but tries from Vincent Clerc and Jean Bouilhou seal victory for the home side Toulouse now face London Irish at Twickenham while the Blues are left thinking about what might have been London Irish 20-9 Perpignan: The hosts start off brightly as captain Mike Catt threatens but the French side's defence holds firm After two penalties apiece, Catt's perfectly-judged cross-kick is claimed by flanker Declan Danaher, who dives over to make it 11-6 England prospect Nick Kennedy's brilliant line-out work plays a major part in helping London Irish take control But it is Peter Hewat who wins the man-of-the-match award after his fine kicking guides the Exiles to victory Gloucester 3-16 Munster: Gloucester have early chances to take the lead but the normally-reliable Chris Paterson misses three penalties The opening exchanges are pretty tasty with Lesley Vainikolo (L) and Denis Leamy having a falling out Gloucester full-back Olly Morgan gets airborne as his side try to stay in touch with the former champions Doug Howlett (r) kills off the game and secures a semi-final spot when he scored Munster's second try
