Excellent win. Fantastic.

[Jac A]

I still think we need a better 10 then either Umaga or Atkinson for next season, we will miss Jimmy's boot terribly.

Could we just take at least 10 mins to enjoy an fantastic and unexpected win without having a go at Jacob and Charlie!

If I could call someone a f*wit, it would be Umaga. Why would you catch a ball and simply drop on the floor?

Jeeeeez. You really have your cognitive bias lenses on!! Wow!!
So many of our players either take the ball on too far so our supporting players can’t protect it, or hold on too long in our mauls, so for the benefit of a few yards, we lose momentum.

Jacob scored an excellent try. Yes, he wasn’t perfect….but how about looking into what goes on up front. Loads of work-ons. Loads of penalties, eg Frost etc.
Just because Jacob is easy to spot doesn’t make him the reason we have lost.

Oh wait! We didn’t lose!!!

Great win today. Love that challenge at the last line out 💥🐝💪

Just a thought …. Next time in an emergency,  I’d hv thought it was better for Alfie to throw in rather than Dan.

21 penalties is a lot, we did really well to win that, the penalties could have easily cost us. Great effort

[wycombewasp]

great win but, they did try their hardest to throw it away in the last seconds before a great lineout steel, well done

[Shugs]

That’s a big win. Defence was good and we did something few others have done - blunted their rolling maul - coaches said they’d worked on it all week. Some tremendously gutsy shifts - what a signing Stooke has been. We also really now have two good really SH options.

Superb by all. Yes Jacob had moments of good skill and some brain farts.  Picking out highlights must say well played Tom west was getting cheated in the first half by Balmaine but stayed the course. Well played Dan he needed that.  Alfie and Jack had perhaps their best games for a while.

A great team win and credit to everyone especially after last week.

Also it made realise how much I’ve missed seeing a drop goal. Superb Dan ⭐️

Dan's drop goal here

Great post. On the money.
We worked really hard for that…both on the training paddock and on the pitch.
Fantastic win…whilst still not playing our best.

As mentioned, incredible work load by Tom West.
Jack was back to his best. Great decision to start him over brother Tom.

Fifita was excellent when he came on. We really bossed them at the lineout, whilst they probably took the spoils at scrum time.

It’s an AMAZING WIN.
At Gloucester. In front of the shed.
If this was Dallaglio, King and Worsley…we would be dancing until dawn.

I’m blown away by both players and coaching staff.

And for those that only watch to find fault (rather than growth and opportunity) I pity your experience.

We won away against a great team…when not many people thought we could!!!!

Indeed.

I really enjoyed that game. The grit and determination of the team was there for all to see. They will take a lot of encouragement from this game.

(Thought there’d be more of a delay in posting the free to view replay - this only about 6 hours after the game finished and people paid to watch it - works for me with my time difference, KO here now at 10pm, go to bed and watch the free full match in the morning)
