Gloucester 55 Brive 0 Charlie Sharples celebrated his 150th Gloucester appearance with a scintillating hat-trick as the Cherry and Whites kicked-off the Challenge Cup with a bonus-point win over Brive. The Hong Kong-born flyer led the teams out as a new era of European rugby got underway at Kingsholm and he was clearly inspired by the occasion. He opened the scoring on 16 minutes to help Gloucester into a 10-0 lead at the break and their quality shone through in the second-half.
