Hudson at 12 is interesting. Great to see Ludlow back and mcallister too, our front row options have been sparse of late.

Not often a happy hunting ground for Glos.

Big test will be how well the backline functions without Cips

Not a great game, poor showings from both Glos 9’s but we will take the 4 points.

Poor form from Newcastle in my opinion, tweeting an alleged eye gouge by Williams as a still picture trying to provoke a reaction. You could still shot a hundred pictures from that fracas that could, in an instant, falsely show hints of foul play. Not impressed frankly.

I’ll find the tweet.
