[2013/14 Premiership] Round 12

[Maverick1987]

Everybody wave and smile to our favourite man ..... Steve borthwick

Gloucester can't win a scrum with 2 forwards off the field and a centre on the flank ffs

 

[Patchey]

Sarries to 13 men. Steve Borthwick off.

Can Glos push for the losing bonus?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I hate Borthwick as much as/more than the next man, but that's not a yellow.
The lifters lost control before Borthwick made contact, and Borthwick didn't really take Wood out, he squeezed past him.
Penalty, but not a card.





Haha, Jesus Christ Gloucester. 6 forwards vs 8 and their scrum gets ruined.

 

[Patchey]

If you want a summary of Glouscester's season in moment, that scrum is the moment you're after.

 

[Prestwick]

Wow. Thats a Premiership winning team right there. Even without their top prop and a 2nd row and with a centre in there instead of a flanker they *still* steamroller the Glaws pack. Epic.

Fair enough. I don't have any patience for pointless play though and if anyone on my team is dopey (uh...Billy V for example) then I don't have any sympathy really.

Sure if its England, in New Zealand, stopping a try with some dirty play and then ruling for the next 10 minutes with 13 men then thats a completely different kettle of fish completely

 

[TRF_Olyy]

and then Gloucester give away a penalty :lol:

Don't they say a yellow is usually worth 7-10pts?
So that's 14-20 for this period. Gloucester are currently at -3 :lol:

To be fair to glos sarries did have 7 in the scrum but still ....

Aye, I chose my words carefully (forwards vs man )

 

[Maverick1987]

Touché my good sir

 

[Patchey]

Afoa and Hibbard can't come to Glos fast enough.

Game has sort of fizzled out now, was a good first forty to watch at least.

 

[Prestwick]

Oh hello, the Gloucester team bus finally turned up 70 minutes late and disgorged their forwards. ...

 

[Prestwick]

The look on the face of Jimmy Cowan can be summed up as thus: How much did Toulon offer me again?...why the hell did I come here?!

 

[LittleGuy]

Wuss, performance today at least alleviates the need for me to start a "relegation run-in" thread for this year. Barring some sort of collapse from Newcastle and Wuss completely shocking someone.

 

[Maverick1987]

After the last 3 or 4 weeks of glos and Quins games I've decided Wallace has jumped ahead of Kvesic in the England reckoning for me

 

[Prestwick]

Full time at Kingsholm and we're back at the top! Yay! :3

With Afoa and Hibbard, we might be good enough to get to 7th place...

This Gloucester squad is paying up to the salary cap, but won't be up there with Saints/Sarries/Bath/Quins/Tigers until we get in a half-decent coaching team. Not playing as a team one bit. Defence coach the priority, but need a forwards and a backs coach too, and more emphasis on the set piece in training.

 

[Crapspray]

Grim. Feel sorry for the England contingent at Gloucester; they look completely demoralised.

Worrying that Goode scored again... and Strettle. That nails them on at 15 and 11 for England. Lord have mercy on us all.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Gloucester were embarrassingly lacking in intensity for all bar about 15 minutes in the second half.
The coaching team has dome serious questions to answer - on paper this Gloucester team should be top 6 fairly comfortably.

About Kvesic being the "invisible man"... he made more tackles than any other Gloucester player, and has done in 7 out of the 11 games he has started this season.

Fair enough on kevs tackles

Still behind Wallace for me at the minute though...
