Gloucester v Tigers

[Epaminondas Pules]

Just watched the game after recording it yesterday, and again I’m at a total loss as to how Atkinson in not in the England squad!

He simply HAS to be in the A squad!

MOTM easy.

I never thought I'd enjoy watching that Williams/Asncombe haklfback combo so much, but Gloucester are great to watch when they're going.

Feels like Chessum getting some more time ahead of 6 nations might have been worth the risk? I guess that training time is considered more valuable.

The England guys are also in Girona.

Skivington's transition of Glaws this season has been exceptional. Brilliant work from him and the team.

100% agree. He’s had an interesting journey at Gloucester. Started well by implementing a strong set piece and maul, dropped off a cliff in season two and then has come back really strongly with an attractive, attacking brand of rugby. Good stuff.

They've got that really nice attacking rugby now but the lineout is still strong and the scrum solid (more than solid when Fasogbon is fit). Really like how Skivington chose to kick his side on and take a risk as opposed to just narrowing his game plan. If Gloucester can find a better defence they'll really be something. That attack is always likely to susceptible to a turnover but first phase defence hasn't been great.
