Adam Hastings inspired Gloucester’s passage into a fifth Challenge Cup final with 17 points, including a try, in a convincing win over Benetton.

The Scotland fly-half pulled the strings in a five-try romp and now hopes to sign off ahead of his summer departure to Glasgow Warriors with a trophy in the cabinet at Kingsholm.

Gloucester will now face South African side Sharks in a showpiece final at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on May 24.

‘It would be awesome to finish here by helping the team win a trophy,’ Hastings said.

‘We’ve put ourselves in a good position to complete the job, but there is still one massive challenge in front of us. Sharks are an outstanding team and have a lot of big guys.’
