Tries from Tomas Lavanini, Les Bleus wing Penaud and George Moala helped the French club lead 22-20 at the end of an action-packed opening period at Ashton Gate.

Pat Lam’s Bears remained in contention thanks to England scrum-half Harry Randall and Semi Radradra each converting their own scores.

AJ MacGinty landed 16 points across the evening for the 2020 tournament winners, but rival fly-half Anthony Belleau kicked 13 of his own.

Penaud, who enjoyed a fine Guinness Six Nations campaign with his country, ultimately ended hopes of a fightback from the hosts with his second score of the game 10 minutes from time.

Scarlets await Clermont in the last eight after a stunning solo score from Vaea Fifita helped them to a 19-7 victory over Brive in Llanelli.

The Welsh club led 9-0 at the interval following three Sam Costelow penalties.

Brive reduced the deficit to two points early in the second half after former Ireland fly-half Stuart Olding added the extras to his own try.

Tongan lock Fifita lit up Parc Y Scarlets minutes later by running half the length of the field to cross before the hosts sealed progression courtesy of a late score from flanker Aaron Shingler.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
