Atkinson looks class today apart from missed kick.

Never count Gloucester out, they'll be back in 2nd half. Need to nail our strategy when they come out.

[Rossm]

Scrummaging has been better than I feared given it 4th choice loosehead.




Also, Odendaal isn't looking like a 2nd rate journeyman which is a description that I believe I've read on here

Yep scrum better then I thought it would be, John Ryan doing really well, Hislop when he is not over extending is also doing well

John Ryan has, of course, got 24 Irish caps.

[Neils]

Hislop is playing well. Thankfully clear of injury at long last.

Our 10, 12, 13 axis last year just didn’t function.
There was a lack of understanding and intelligence at times.

I’m so glad Spink will now be a regular.
Charlie looks far more comfortable.
Good fillings for a great Burger.

Sorry, I had to.

[Neils]

Bonus - Charlie made the second half

[JF]

Uh-oh, Zammit, damnit.

[Westy68]

This looks familiar

[backdoc]

Indeed. Defence just 15% slower.

[13thWarrior]

Well, not the start to the 2nd half we would have wanted.

[NellyWellyWaspy]

This looks familiar

Looks like we have decided 40 minutes was enough. Now we can let them score as they want.

[Laterontoday]

Normal service resumed, comfortable then let them back in.

Calm down stop panicking

[COYW15]

Oh dear

[hopwood]

Games always have shifts in momentum.
We just need to capitalise when we get our next shift.

[Steve from Cov]

Some Alfie/Jack/Joe heroics are needed.

[backdoc]

Ref a bit Glos at the breakdown.
