📣 We Are Back! 📣
Been a lot going on behind the scenes recently, but happy to announce we are returning!
Been 2 months since we’ve been able to do content for socials or even a podcast, so we are both buzzing to be back!
Let’s remind you what we do (a thread) ⬇️⬇️

This clip doing the rounds. So my two pence:
If you want to be a shithouse, and someone shithouses you back… tough.
In fact, I quite like it, from both players!
Connors within the laws keeping LAR7 in the ruck here, no? "Unnecessary roughness", to borrow a phrase ...

“Those Gloucester fans” translates too a handful of people in a stadium of thousands.

Interesting point in the Gloucester v Saracens game. TMO alerts Maxwell-Keys to a potential dangerous tackle by Harris, they decide the tackle is fine as McFarland jumps into the tackle.
He actually ends up kneeing Harris directly to the head because of his jump into contact.

Sounding like Tomos Williams is leaving Cardiff in favour of Gloucester.
The 29 year old will be a welcome addition to Gloucester who could really use a top 9.
If Skivington wants to play this attacking rugby, Tomos could be the perfect fit.

👀Unpopular opinion👀
Super rugby has its place of course, and the fast nature is a big draw.
But I don’t think this loose style game is the ideal we should be shooting for.
May be a purist, but I much prefer the structured game with flickers of magic against tough defence.

Ultimately this isn’t necessarily about Gloucester, it’s about premiership teams in general, with the league being so competitive, salary caps decreasing, non stop fixtures coming in, expect to see more rotation throughout the competition, and I think, rightly so…

Incredibly sad stuff this, can only imagine the pain it brings.
A lot of people giving there 10 pence worth about the decision he’s made to play, perhaps it’s Josua’s decision to make in the desperately sad time…
A heartbreaking situation for Fiji's Josua Tuisova 💔
With one point needed to make the quarter finals, Tuisova will sacrifice attending his 7 year old son’s funeral in order to represent his country for the crucial final pool match against Portugal.

Gloucester are littered with injuries in key positions, in a very competitive top 4 race for the Premiership, got a huge game against a close rival for the competition in a week, also very unlikely to win with a full strength team, not a great look for the cup but the right call.
