Game Of Two Halves !
Having just watched it, thank The Rugby Gods there weren't 3 halves !

A wonderful first half, with the backs really showing what can be achieved with quick ball etc. The second half reminded me of the lack of clear thinking leadership as against London Irish last year. We seem to have forgotten how to manage and close off the opposition for long periods of a game. Accepting we are short of props at the moment the lack of power and speed off the back row were sorely missed. I would have settled for a point before the game but we should have had more!

I feel many people underestimate the influence of Shields.
It seemed to me that the forward influence, and hence good ball for the backs, declined substantially when he left the field.

Not sure about subbing at 9 when we did.

As a Glaws fan, I have to say your boys were top notch in the first half. Your half backs were excellent, and you probably have the best backrow in the league.
But why was Robson taken off? My mates and I couldn't believe that decision. He was bossing the game so well.
I think our bench was stronger and had a big impact.
Predictably Zamm was the change maker. It was remarkable he scored that try, as his laces came undone on his left boot, and that slowed him down.
Best of luck for the season, on and off the pitch.

Couldn't agree more with your comments Westglos !! Just like to say what a great bunch of fans you have at G!oucester Rugby - we had help with directions to the ground from some friendly home supporters and had a nice chat with a fellow Welsh rugby fan whose Uncle, it turned out, taught my wife in school in Wales , some 50 years ago !! Seated by some season ticket holders we engaged in some mid-match chat ,real nice people,very partisan , but I love that about Rugby; surrounded by opposition fans , we never feel intimidated or inclined to become less vocal in support of our favourites -" hate" on the "enemy" for eighty minutes , then best of friends !! Its family friendly and it's , collectively, "OUR game" , fans of all clubs united in our love for this great game , long may it continue !! Footnote- those home supporters must have been well impressed when we stood to applaud Louis' magnificent effort in the second half which heralded the turn about in fortunes of both teams _(LRZ so glad he,s Welsh !!)
