What an afternoon for Gloucester and a reward for the Kingsholm fans, who we all know haven't had the easiest season with results in the Premiership.
The Cherry and Whites are into the Challenge Cup final for the fifth time and this might just sweeten the season for Gloucester.
That's all from us today, thank you for joining us.
'Gloucester's work rate dug them out of a hole'
FT: Gloucester 40-23 Benetton
Simon Devereux
Former Gloucester forward on BBC Radio Gloucestershire
When Benetton came out in the second half I thought they looked a better team and I didn't know if Gloucester could deal with them.
Then it was 18-16 and Benetton looked like the side that were improving and Gloucester were floundering a bit.
But they found a way to sort it out on the pitch and comeback with try after try.
For me, there was some really key work in that second half. Their workrate dug them out of a bit of a hole when they were under the cosh.
Gloucester reach fifth Challenge Cup final
FT: Gloucester 40-23 Benetton
Gloucester remain on track for their second trophy this season and their third in the Challenge Cup.
First-half tries from Josh Hathaway and Seb Blake helped them to a 15-6 lead, before Rhyno Smith pulled one back right on the break to close the gap.
Adam Hastings and Freddie Clarke added more tries either side to two from Gianmarco Lucchesi before Ollie Thorley added the fifth score for the Cherry and Whites right at the end, to take them beyond 40 points.

Gloucester are on the verge of another final!
Ollie Thorley adds the extras right at the death, as the ball comes loose from a Benetton line-out and Gloucster capitalise.
Thorley eventually scoops it up and touches down.
Adam Hastings - what an afternoon he's had - misses his conversion though.

That's the first time we've seen them in the strike zone from an attacking lineout like that
Gloucester had no answer. It's clinical play.
Try: Gloucester 18-16 Benetton
Gianmarco Lucchesi (54 mins)
Huge moment as Benetton pull a try back but miss the chance to draw level.
It all came from a brilliant kick that put the Italians deep in Gloucester territory.
They then play the hosts at their own game, powering forward with their maul from a line-out and replacement Gianmarco Lucchesi gets the ball down for the crucial try.
Tomas Albornoz misses another conversion though and they stay two points behind..

Benetton are really trying to make that man advantage pay before Zach Mercer is brought back on from his yellow card.
Benetton winger Onisi Ratave makes a dangerous line break but is pulled back in sight of the try line under a tackle by Gloucester full-back Josh Hathaway.
Gloucester eventually regain possession and clear with a kick downfield.

Gloucester 15-11 Benetton
What a start from Benetton who come out for the second-half like a rocket to put Gloucester under pressure with a counter-attack.
Rhyno Smith - who scored just before half-time - comes charging down the wing and chases his own kick inside to really stretch the Cherry and Whites defence, who scramble to clear the danger.
