Feels weird to be walking away from this with a BP win* given how shoddy the all round performance has been.

What is this 'star of the match' bullshit?
I thought someone may have misspoken earlier, but it seems to be a thing now

Gloucester's 2nds look like they'll be facing a long 80 minutes against Lyon on the evidence thus far.

Not at all convinced by taking the 3 here - Gloucester need to play as much as possible in Lyon’s half

As an aside, it's nice to see Bastareaud playing in his natural position. It's a shame so much of his career was squandered in the centre.

only just noticed he's playing 8 at the last scrumRe: Euro Rugby Match Thread, Dec 11th

That young Glaws 8 has been good. Probably not going to be just a loan signing from Hartpury for long.
I know Lyon have probably slacked off and could probably switch on again if required, but Gloucester have done alright to stem the flow.

Glaws defence make Stains looks solid. If ASM or Racing played this lot, it'd be in danger of reaching 100.

I for one am very surprised the 2nds/3rds weren't up to it.
Not looking forward to the Quins game - gutted we're missing our captain Lewies, and the absence of both Lasike (injury) and Esterhuizen (moron) will kill us against de Allende and Farrell. Oh well.
