Well, I've got seat by the TV, computer on my lap, so here we go!
Digger leads out the Saints, and the Saints chants are overpowering already.

From the first scrum, Saints get an immediate penalty. Myler puts play up to just past half way.

Saints lose the lineout, the ball is spread wide and Big Lesley makes a break, but knocks the ball on just before the Saints 22.
Penalty from the scrum goes to Gloucester, and they go for the posts...

High ball to Shane, no problems.
High ball to Bruce, no problems.
High ball to no one in particular, and Saints break out... lots of kicking, not a lot of chasing on the Glaws part.

Couple of good plays down the line from Glaws, but Azam spills it backwards, pounced on by the Saints, and they can clear once again...

Shane manages to take a high ball with a volcano bearing down on him. Great take, as Lesley wraps him up and turns him. Scrum Glaws.

It's all Glaws at the moment. All play in Saints half. Another penalty to Glaws for Saints offside at a ruck.
It's out wide, but Robinson going for the posts again.

Glaws kick ahead, and the ball goes dead. Saints scrum about 30m out. Great play from the base of the scrum by Wilson, and Sir blows for a penalty.
Easy 3 for Myler?

Kick through from Lawson takes play in to the Saints 22 for a lineout. Kruger takes this one.
Box kick by Dickson clears a bit, but now Glaws get the lineout.

Glaws in to Saints 22 again, and a shrill blast from the ref gives Robinson another shot at goal.
Good tackle by Lawes, but he then tried to play the ball from the wrong side.
Robinson, from about the same place as his second, scores.
Saints 6 - 9 Glaws.

Glaws play it down the line, and a little chip through gives Saints a lineout 5m or so out from their own line. Glaws drive them back, but Saints clear again. Lineout Glaws on the 22m.

Advantage Glaws, as play is less than 5m from Saints line.
And over the line they go.

And maybe, just maybe, the Saints are starting to wake up. Another great break by Shane, offload to Dowson who breaks at least 3 tackles.
Lost the ball, goes to JSD.
Lawes tackles, wins the ball, offloads to Bruce, to Kruger. HUGE overlap! It's at least 5 on zero.

Ball goes down the line, I start shouting at the TV, and James Downey goes over for Saints' second try.
Myler is good with the conversion again, and Saints are 20 - 14 up.
Wendy is almost overpowering the commentators!

Was that a late tackle on Shane as he cleared?

Into the last minute of the half, ball bouncing all over the place. No one wanting to take it from a Glaws up and under. Ball ends up going forward off Saints, scrum Glaws.

Glaws going backwards though, not breaking the gain line... until Qera goes through, offloads to Vainikolo who is tackled by Digger.
Knock on by Glaws snuffs out that one, and the half time whistle goes.
Half time score, Saints 20 - 14 Glaws.

Re: Cup updates

Here's hoping for the traditional Saints post-half time explosiveness!
Not too much to start with. A bit of a backwards and forwards with the kicking, which ends with a partial chargedown on a Saints kick, so Saints lineout.

The Saints defence are doing really well at the moment, holding out everything from Glaws.
Another attack by Glaws, some good tackles again, and Digger gets a hand on. Saints clear.

Scrum Glaws, and the ref calls Saints for taking it down.
Under the posts he goes.
TRY GLAWS.
Obviously, the conversion is good.
Saints 20 - 21 Glaws. Half an hour to go.

Saints kick puts play down in to the Glaws 22, about 10m out. Glaws try to go quick, but it doesn't go 5. Free kick Saints, and bizarrely they go for the scrum!
It works, ball comes out, through a couple of pairs of hands, and over the line they go!!
Wait... up it goes to Ed.

Scrum 5, Glaws put in. Front rows come up, but it's no one's fault.
Scrum #2... reset.
Scrum #3... Glaws pick and pass... to no one. Still got he ball though. Down the line, and now back to the Saints 22.

Still Glaws attacking with 20 minutes to go.
Slow ball, pick and drive. Now down the line, goes wide to Vanikolo, and Diggin acts as a road bump. Vanikolo holds on, and the penalty goes to the Saints.

Long's first line out throw is stolen by Glaws, and play is suddenly back on the Saints 5m line. Tackle after tackle, and Tiny intercepts!!! Gets from the Saints 5m to the Glaws 22!
Passes out, Shane nearly goes over, pops to Mooj, but Mooj knocks on over the Glaws line.
