[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 729600, member: 55446"] Gloucester's recruitment strategy is to spend big on a few stars and fill the rest with youth and fairly low standard Premiership players, rather than have good all-round depth. e.g. we spend lots on Afoa, but our other tightheads are Knight and Puafisi.
