Cardiff Blues have marked Jonah Lomu's death with a one-minute applause before their European Rugby Challenge Cup against Harlequins.

Lomu, the great All Blacks winger who died on Wednesday, made 10 appearances for the Welsh club in 2005.

But the Blues were unable to win on Thursday in his honour as the visitors sealed a 32-20 victory in their Pool 3 clash.

Tim Visser, Oliver Lindsay-Hague, Charlie Walker and Danny Care all scored second-half tries for Harlequins with two conversions and two penalites from Ben Botica.

In Pool 4, Gloucester claimed a hard-fought victory at La Rochelle to maintain their winning start in Europe.
