Harlequins held on to beat Bordeaux-Begles in a thrilling match as they reached the semi-finals of the Investec Champions Cup for the first time.

The lead changed several times in the second half but Tyrone Green's try, converted by Marcus Smith, proved to be enough despite the hosts scoring again.

Madosh Tambwe grabbed his second try but Maxime Lucu missed the conversion that would have brought victory.

Quins will face Toulouse or Exeter in the semi-finals.
