Gloucester head coach Dean Ryan feels his side can finish the season strongly both domestically and in Europe.

Bath could replace Gloucester as Premiership leaders if they win against London Irish on Saturday but Ryan is keen to stay in the race.

"We've got some big games coming up now. We're obviously in contention for the play-offs in the Premiership," Ryan told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.

"And we've a cup quarter-final against Munster. There's a lot to fight for."
