Is this Heinz's first game since the RWC?

[Puja]

Is this Heinz's first game since the RWC?

I think so - good for them to have a high-level international back!

The wings for Gloucester are absolutely rapid. I worry about Rees-Zammit playing for Wales - he is far too dangerous.

Is this Heinz's first game since the RWC?

Yep, he's had a hamstring issue.

I haven't watched wuss much at all, I was hoping to see Ollie Lawrence tonight. I haven't seen him mentioned much, injured?

[fivepointer]

Think Lawrence might be injured. He didnt feature in the Prem Shield game earlier in the week. He hasnt played much at all this season.
Might be a close game. Wuss proving they arent pushovers, while Glos are forming a habit of narrowly losing games they should have won.

[Warrior85]

Ollie Lawrence injured his ankle against Dragons a couple of weeks ago.

He hasn't played much as he is 3rd choice at 13 and is quite often injured. Had quite a serious injury towards the end of kast season. His time will definitely come soon tho

[Gloskarlos]

LRZ is stupidly fast, but a little lacking in defensive technique just yet, he doesn’t shirk, but isn’t always successful, that said he’s quickly making that shirt his own. In a year or two he’s going to be the business. Heinz back at captain is a big plus, something I would never have said 18 months ago. Glos need a win, too many losses, narrowly or otherwise and confidence is low, some supporters getting on their backs too. A win should ease that. Wuss have a resilience this season that is new, think this could be close....

[Oakboy]

It's a bit of a Friday night yawn.

[Gloskarlos]

Great last 20, only one team playing any rugby really. Glad for the win, hoping that’s a good confidence builder.

[Oakboy]

Shame that young winger is Welsh.

[fivepointer]

It is. He's quite a talent.
Glos got there in the end, but really did make hard work of putting away a very poor Worcester. Ted Hill stood out but the rest were very ordinary.
A nice 5 pt win is exactly what Glos needed.

[Mikey Brown]

Shame that young winger is Welsh.

Yep. Looks like he’s already having to make that clear. A lot of people would he’d he their bets at this stage, assuming he’s qualified for both.

Good on him.
