Possibly a good battle on the wings. 3 very good youngsters and the veteran May. Plus the ridiculously quick LR-Z to come on later.
Good to see Clement getting a start. You'd expect a Glos win.

Strong looking Irish side that. Think this will be close.

Agreed. That’s about the best side Irish have put out since the restart. When is Coleman due back? I’m pleased to see Nott and Donnell getting more rugby, but Coleman is arguably their best player IMO.

Coleman and Nadolo arguably the only two missing from full strength. The way Gloucester have been leaking points, I wouldn’t be surprised to see an away win. Irish simply have to win to stand any European qualification chance.

Irish look as if they're just treading water to me, I think Glos will take this. Although I'm interested to see how Creevy gets on

That was an entertaining game. Irish competitive throughout. Creevy is a terrific signing.
Bench swung it for Glos.
