I'm going down to watch the saints away. Will be my first time at plastic stone x stadium.

Driving down as the trains are screwed.

Boring post of the day…..

If you haven't already, suss out your parking options. There's little 'on the day' parking near the ground and you can't park on the local roads.

Big team for a big game down at plastic fantastic.

Really interesting that since coming back from injury, Lockett has started all the games. He's a brilliant young player, wonder if he's on the England radar (down the list) but he's a big unit and only getting bigger. Stats have him at 6'6 but only 112kg, guessing that's not been updated in a while.

Great name for his position!!!

With those size and weight stats I'm surprised Borthwick hasn't covered himself in peanut butter and started licking it.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wade absolutely manhandled by Green then

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Wade doing a perfect demonstration on why he was never picked for England so far this eve. Getting bumped off for days

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Gloucester's counter ruck strategy seems to just have all 8 forwards torpedo at the ruck simultaneously

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I like how they're talking up Gloucester's scrum like they're going to push Quins back over the tryline, while the stat flashes up on the screen that they've got the lowest number of penalties on their own feed in the league

Glad they got the ball out instead of just standing around behind a static scrum

Good game so far, both teams wanna play

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Williams/Anscombe are such a good 9/10 partnership

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Fair play these scrums are starting to heavily go Gloucester's way,
Bit concerning for England considering it's Baxter under the cosh
