This could be a great game. Based upon last week’s performances, I’d fancy Gloucester to take this, but Bath won’t want consecutive defeats to local rivals so I’m sure they’ll raise their game from last week.

Priestland dropped has to be the right choice after last weeks showing… Though, if we were basing things on that, then Homer should be retired for that fumble!

Hoping Cips has a storming game again!

Still think this Bath side have a lot to offer. That pack looks seriously good to me. Front row battle could be decisive. VRR up against Thomas should be worth keeping an eye on.

Never been a happy hunting ground for Glos the wreck, so i'd be happy with 2 BP frankly. Same team as round 1 for Glos, continuity reigns.

Agreed. The only change is Walker for Dunn which is fair. Walker has lots of potential but didn’t take his chance last week whereas Dunn is reliably good.

I think Bath’s pack is stronger on paper for this game but once Dreyer, Mostert and Grobler come in to the frame, Gloucester will have a fearsome unit.

What are the odds on Banahan scoring on his return to the Rec? Personally, I reckon they’d be fairly high.

I like your style/stats

Just had the very same thought.

Burning burger vans.

First 4 matches were all winnable. Lose 3 and I can see Todd spending a lot for time in his garden.

Earlier than I'd like, but I can see Dempsey taking over

On the other hand...
He's obviously had a good half time chat

I can't believe banners did that.

Brutal knock out.

Really not pretty.
I always think it's crass when commentators remark about "good/bad timing" for the time out due to injury

Woodward!!!

Roko!!!

You win some, you lose some.
Shoulda been a yellow, but..

Rhys!!!

Two English no7’s have gone very well today.

Great come back.

Blackadder for DoR of the Season.

Great effort from Bath to come back!
