Harsh on Slade who gets naff all ball to do anything with. The rest is fair.

Daly been off the pace for far too long

Yay. We did a win. 36 showing that a canny old head isn’t quick enough to play 10 anymore.

I'd very much like to see Thunder Thorley running into Ashton at least once in this game. Both sides look handy enough, hoping for the win of course, Glos need the positivity for sure. Reid, JFR, Walker all signed new contracts this week. Think Reid has been a superb signing, always gives everything...

An absolute nonsense that he finds himself on the bench against Wales, regardless of how much potential he has. for me an England cap needs to be more earning than that.

Glad to see Lawes not in the back row, suspect North will be running straight at Daly.

3 weeks also for VRR

Looks like Heinz is off to Wuss. Looking to revitalise his England career by leaving Gloucester? Can’t hurt can it. Heinz has been superb for us, difference between this experienced 9 and our up and coming is still huge. We still have Simpson, but he’s not been at his prime for a while. I’ll be sor...

Looks like Heinz is off to Wuss.

Glos need to get the monkey off their back, and so far haven’t found a way to do so. On paper they might have the advantage come scrum and line out, but priestlend and Spencer, particularly given the conditions, are likely to ace the kicking/territory contest. I suspect it will be a close, dour affa...

You’d be surprised how such a way will be found.

I was always taught jumping into a tackle was illegal. I was surprised it was awarded at the time. Nigel on Twitter has also said he wouldn’t have let the try stand due to the jump either. It does need clearing up. Going back a few years, lions v ABks I can’t remember who the player was, but he jump...

Can’t believe we threw that away.

Indeed. Saints with another 4 free points.

I’m relieved as it’s my team dodging the bullet potentially, but seems a bit ‘dirty’

Confirmed on BBC, relegation scrapped for this season only, 13 teams compete next season

No fear of anything other than a Brizzle win here. Been reading lots of interesting info around the Glos rebuild, it’s a proper bottom up, out with everything regime. Which, whilst I hope will bring a longer term sustainability results/performance improvement, means right now we are all at sea. A LB...

Good grief. Typical feckin Eddie.

This’ll be a kick to corner rolling maul fest with Lawes and extra jumping option. So one dimensional. Was hoping to see Randall and Idogwu on the bench at least for this game.

I think if Glos or Wuss go down that could be the end of those clubs. Parachute payment would not be enough to keep them sustainable. Bath have more owner means to ride that out. It’s a tricky situation, I don’t want to see relegation scrapped, but given this years affect on clubs finances relegatio...

There was next to no rugby played to rate. Quite, but there was a contrast between Itoje's application and the other Saracens players. I don't think any should have been in the squad but, having said that, I take my hat off to Itoje. He is absolute class. Looking that good when the others looked so...

There was next to no rugby played to rate.

Eddie can do one, as can Farrell. Pointless kicking, over reliance on out of form Sarries players. Terrible tactics.

I have been drinking, but that fecking sucked.

Chibba Hanson leaves Glos with immediate effect. Replaced by Socina, also immediately, except he has to quarantine. We are in trouble with injuries now. Evans out for a while, Barton to step up. No 10 reserve so 36 is the only (not great) option here. Singleton injured, so hooker for the next two we...

Heinz back for Glos could be key, we have been lacking in game control at 9 this season with the youngsters. That aside I expect a close game that we will contrive to lose somehow in the last few minutes.
