[Gloskarlos]

7 Ex Glos players in that Bristol squad.

[Banquo]

7 Ex Glos players in that Bristol squad.

Taking the pi55 at 9 as well

[jimKRFC]

3 ex-Bris in the Glaws team as well..

Can't see Bris getting much out of this, it's a depressingly strong side Glaws have. Losing Alapati for 4 weeks is a bit of blow, but at least Morahan is back fit.

Bristol score 30 points at home consistently, could be a high scoring affair, would be typical for Glos to beat Exe and Sarries and then lose this one. I'm not massively confident I have to say.

[fivepointer]

This could be lively. Glos going well but Bris do score tries and are no mugs at home.

[Tigersman]

Could see 2 TBPs in this game

[Epaminondas Pules]

Looking forward to seeing Prothero come on. Had a horrible end to last season injury wise, but sheet the kid has talent to burn!

[Oakboy]

Frenetic but entertaining so far.

[Gloskarlos]

Glos errors killing us. Pretty poor.

[Mellsblue]

Great try.

[Mellsblue]

Looks like a good crowd.

[Mellsblue]

Butchered that. Must’ve been 5 v 2 overlap.

[Mellsblue]

Another great try.

[Mellsblue]

This is a mental game but it makes for bloody good viewing. Randall’s reaction to that try is worth the admission price alone.

[Scrumhead]

Good game for the neutral.

Curtains for Newcastle? Their game on Sunday is now even more of a must-win game.

[twitchy]

Great game.

[Mellsblue]

Looked like a great atmosphere as well. Great advert for the game.

[Mellsblue]

Also, Luatua was unbelievable. What an engine and every tackle was a positive one.

[Banquo]

Great game for a neutral, and even as a Glaws boy I'm pleased for Brizzle, who frankly got away with shocking naivety twice in that game.

[jimKRFC]

Also, Luatua was unbelievable. What an engine and every tackle was a positive one.

He is pure class! Morahan has been fantastic as well, always seems to make the right choice.

Didnt expect that but great result, even we made hard for ourselves!

[fivepointer]

Entertaining game and a big win for Bris. They do play some enterprising and attractive rugby. Lam has done a top job getting the side together. They are not completely safe, but must be very close to it.
Glos continue to be inconsistent. Losing Heinz early was a big loss. They are a better side with him at SH.

[Oakboy]

I have mixed feelings about Morgan after that game. The commentators kept harping on about his carrying and I agree that it was good. However, he seemed to go missing for several periods and there was one kick chase that looked half-hearted at best. Was he knackered or bored? Is he a genuine 80 minutes athlete? I'm not sure. Maybe I'm being harsh thinking of his England pretensions.

[Scrumhead]

I think Morgan was good in the first half and not as good in the second.

Not one of his better recent performances, but he was still one of Gloucester’s best forwards IMO.

[Digby]

I enjoyed this an awful lot more than watching England last weekend, error strewn though it was. More please
