Weather looks good, even if it is grizzly today. Both teams need a big game. Could/should be the match of the weekend

[Gloskarlos]

Can’t see anything other than a Quins win. Just hope Glos show how far they’ve come and make a decent fist of it. More hit, less miss. Might sneak a tbp

[fivepointer]

Gotta fancy Quins but Glos still have a chance of top 4. Even a BP could come in very handy.

[twitchy]

Glos look excellent.

[Mr Mwenda]

Glos look excellent.

Yes, more how I'd been led to believe quins play.

Marchant looking good to me in defence.

Disconcerted by how many Scotland players are involved.

[Danno]

Quins treating tackling and clearouts like it's touch

[Banquo]

thorley looks sharp

Finishing s bit off, too

[Banquo]

glaws giftng the ball away. coaches nightmare

[Danno]

glaws giftng the ball away. coaches nightmare

We're giving it back a bit to keep it balanced

[Danno]

...and then Glos do that

[Banquo]

terrible from glaws,softest 80m giveaway

[Mr Mwenda]

Loved that passing interplay and then the simple hands to finish. Good rugby.

[Banquo]

chucking the game away one mistake at a time. no composure

[Banquo]

quins dominated second half tbh, but glaws really helped em.

top 4 still possible as far as i can tell tho

[twitchy]

Yep well done quins.

Glaws are on the same points as Saints but Saints have got Sarries in the 5.30 kick off. Next week Glaws have Sarries so Glaws are presumably hoping that Sarries steam roller Saints and then rest all their key players in the final game.

[Spiffy]

Danny Care for England !

[switchskier]

Fun game that turned when Evans cane on to me. Up to that point Glaws were first to the ruck and controlling everything from there. Mind you, the ceiling is low for Gloucester until they significantly improve their set piece.

The commentator said that this result was the end of their season.......

it was a part of it, but the real big moments were glaws mistakes, starting with VRR conceding a stupid pen in the 1st minute of the second half, then Carreras's duffed dropped goal/Hastings stuff up....and so on. They even gave away Quins 1st half score. Give a team like Quins a sniff...let alone multiples..

Still, impressed with Thorley, and Clarke is having an indian summer.

Surprised that Thorley, in one long run down the left, did not have the pace to run away from Marchant, himself no flier. Wonder if he's lost a metre or two?

[Gloskarlos]

ThInk Marchant is quicker than he appears. All has been said already, great first half, handed the ball over on many platters through the second forty. Ridiculous mistakes, some just shocking. Next season should be better.

I know you have this thing with Marchant being too slow, but he’s just a fantastic defender. I thought Thorley had done him on the outside there. Maybe he’s not as fast as he was, but I thought it was just a brilliant tackle.

Yes I agree it was. Marchant has really improved this season into a very good all-round centre, worth his place on the England team.
