Bristol

I see online odds have Gloucester at 1-7 on and us at 5-1 against.
Bookies are rarely wrong,but seems more one-sided than opening games have suggested.
I suspect Gloucester at home will probably win but by less than 2 scores .
5-1 is very tempting for the upset in a two horse race.

Glaws are a solid outfit. Their implosion in the second half against B**h seemed out of sorts and I expect they'll be looking to bounce back against us. For that reason I fear the worst this week.

I can’t see us taking this one, however I’d like to think we will put in a good shift. We might take a losing bonus point, but who knows we have 80 mins to take our chances.

Think the odds are insulting to us.
The handicap is Glawster by 15!!
We were beating Sarries at half time and that could have been a lot closer
If we can get in Cipriannis face and keep that Bristol spirit going I think could be a lot closer than the bookies think.
We may even win it as Glaws can implode although less likely at home.

I would take a losing bonus point tbh.
What’s great is you just know Lam will have told the boys to go balls out for the win, and instilled the confidence in them that they can do so.
Marked contrast from the last few years, I feel.

The bookies thought Bath would win.

Yes I was surprised by the 15 point handicap as well and I think that’s worth a punt. Glos have looked good and I’m worried that they might destroy us in the scrum although with Thomas and Afoa returning to Glos and big Joe Joyce giving more grunt than Holmes we will hopefully get close to parity.
I do think that like last week Smith, Hurrell and Lam can cause havoc at the ruck and steal lots of ball so could be a high scoring game and a bet on over 52.5 points is evens as well.
Elsewhere, Quins win vs Bath looks like a dead cert but I’ve been wrong before!!

Don't think Hurrel is gonna be doing much this game...

Be handy if he was having 16 in the team would make it more favorable /on the flip side if you were having a punt on Bris think they might tilt those odds

Got £2 each on Morahan, Edwards, Randall for 1st try @ 15/1, 18/1 and 33/1
