Gloucester Vs wasps

[danny]

This promises to be a facinating game between to very talented sides. Key for me is the line out battle where both sides have been dredfull of late. It will be good to give Dallaglio one last blast of abuse before he goes into retirement(we will miss him in the shed). This could be Gloucesters hardest home game so far against a team that historically does better than most at Kingsholm. Glos to win by 5-7 points, but what a battle in prospect!

Got to disagree. Wasps have lots of injuries, and some key underperformers (Rees). glos are riding high playing good rugby and will be charged for this one. I will be surprised if a bonus point is netted by our buzzing friends.

I hope you are right but although we are riding high we are not in good form we just seem to score 1 try more than the opposition at home. Also Wasps never give an inch which i kind of admire.

This was one seriously tense game. Wasps were missing Shaw, worsley and Sackey but lets not forget that Gloucester were also missing Qera,Brown,Bortolami,Vainikolo and had Allen on the bench nursing an injury.Wasps tried to slow down lots of Gloucesters balll in the first half and were punished with a yellow card for Haskell by referee Pearson(no surprise there). Cipriani was poor today and outplayed overall by Lamb whos kicking was much improved today.Second half started of in the same manner with Glos attacking and Wasps holding on but then the big fight back began.Two well worked tries were just rewards for wasps and Glos were struggling to stay in the game.The only thing that impressed me with Glos in the 2nd half was the way they shut out the game by going through phase afer phase of pick and go by the forwards.Very professional.

Good way to figure out how to counter Munster in the HEC quarters. But the screaming Lambs will still be slaughtered - won't they, Clarice?

I didn't see this match, but it sounds like a good un. Back foot defence against Wasps is something to be proud of.

With the hard grounds and the feeble Munster scrummage i think we can win it any way we feel. You will be pleased to hear the pony enclosure is nearly ready,so no parking problems envisaged.

I think ryan lamb managed to shut up those who said he couldnt kick by scoring all the points for his team with the boot

oh and also its a shame but i think wassp are not going to qualify for the play offs now
