[Mellsblue]

Silly from Ludlow

[Mellsblue]

Billy gonna Billy.

LRZ blocked there, ignored by ref

LRZ blocked there, ignored by ref

Yep, but they never get given. One of my pet peeves.

[stepsider]

Agreed, and Glaws try was chalked off earlier due to a LRZ push.

[Mellsblue]

With scrum dominance like this it’s a done deal.

As I said…

[Mellsblue]

ROG looks worried which is my favourite ROG.

[Mellsblue]

Agreed, and Glaws try was chalked off earlier due to a LRZ push.

That was a homer decision as was the one on the rip just then

As was that.

[Mellsblue]

This is fucking amazing.

[Mellsblue]

I’m not a Gloucester but I was massively pulling for them in this match. What a performance. That goal line stand was amazing.

[stepsider]

Glaws robbed

[fivepointer]

Absolutely gutted for Gloucester. That was a phenomenal performance, full of heart, unbelievable commitment and skill. Considering who they started with and the players they lost in the game to come so close was a magnificent effort.

[stepsider]

After the Quins first 70 minutes of ineptitude, for which the last three tries don't compensate, at least this shows that Prem teams can put in a near-complete performance away from home.

Really feel for Glaws, + the ref did them no favours at all.

[pompey-zebra]

Gutting for Glaws after such a performance, but that was a great game of rugby.

[FKAS]

Lots of fun that game. Nice to see two teams throw the ball around but still do the gritty forward stuff as well. End to end.

Adamson not the best ref around shall we say.

[Galfon]

12T so unfortunate to be around at the same time as the other
abrasive, dead-eye, play-maker cum centre with Lions credentials.
What might have been

[Gloskarlos]

If Glos play like that for the remaining games this season we might be in touch for cup rugby again next year. Pleased with the performance, closed my eyes at every scrum, against better opposition you just have to take it to them, they don't like it up 'em. Horrible for Ackers, though that was a red myself (not that it would have changed the result) isn't that directly what that new 'target lower limbs' law was introduced to eradicate? Seb A was awesome, still only 20 which I keep forgetting. 36 equally as good as he was bad. plucky losers is a title I hate.

[Mellsblue]

36 equally as good as he was bad.

His career in a nutshell.

[fivepointer]

I think we can get legitimately excited about Atkinson. He can pass long or short off both hands, his defence is excellent, he's got great feet and has got ticker to spare. I'm really impressed.

The clearout on Ackerman should have been red. It was awful.

Sorry to ask - what's Ticker? Heart?

yep. Heart, bottle, desire.

He's got a big future ahead of him. Max Llewellyn played well for Cardiff at the weekend as well. Glaws midfield should be well set for the next few years.

Post WC Seb Atkinson will surely be in the mix with England if he keeps up this level of form.

[Mellsblue]

First time I’ve watched… I thought Atkinson made a few poor decisions at the line in attack but otherwise he was v good. Superb in d in all facets.
