I wouldn't mind seeing Browning get given a chance.

Remember we have Glaws a massive head start at their place and still nearly beat them. The will be missing Thorley, May, Alemmano and Polledri. This is a game we should be targeting.

Targeting or not losing 2 weeks team training is a lot!

Why when listing the players not available to Gloucester doesn't Sam1161198 also list those not available to Tigers.

We are certainly up against it. We did send mainly a second team down to Glaws to play what was basically their first team. Ford and Taufua off the bench had them in the back foot. Hopefully a strong team that can rely on the scrum and hopefully the lineout can cause them problems and deprive Cipriani of ball. He's half the player when on the back foot.

So - sadly we won't be seeing him at Welford Road. Sadly - we won't be seeing any of them, of course.

Wish him well for what's described as a "significant knee ligament injury".
Wishing him well for a full recovery!
