Will Crane still on duty. Hope the last game hasn't got into his head, otherwise it'll be another long night.

Not surprising it's been tough for Crane, he's got a day job he's not a full time pro. Knowles on the bench was born in 2006, I've got shirts older than him. With Arthur Clarke banned as well it's going to put some pressure on the Glaws lineout though Alemano's return is timely.

Ross Byrne being dropped is interesting as well.

No Byrne and Glos have a handy h/t lead.

Charlie Atkinson concedes the penalty try that costs Glaws dear. Sounds like they were riding their luck throughout though.

Looks like it wasn't much of a choice as he looked to stop a certain try.

Better to just concede the try, force the conversion to be taken and not be down a man for 10 mins.
