Premiership Rugby Cup

They really need to have a rule about how many 1st team players you can have, this is such a pointless mismatch

End this now, there’s no benefit to anyone here and everyone can get an early night.

Have I got News for you on soon

Bath don’t have much choice over who they could field for this but Glos not entering in to the spirit of the competition at all. Shame

I stopped watching 5 mins ago. It is so one-sided it has no entertainment value for a neutral. It is almost like watching an unopposed session on the training ground.....just a series of runs through to the try line. Even if I was a Gloucester supporters would be feeling decidedly uncomfortable once the score reached 42-3. No benefit to anyone....Gloucester, Bath or spectators.

This is what Sale are hoping for tomorrow

You're joking, the donkeys in the shed are still braying at Bath knock-ons, a cheer maybe but incessant braying...classless.

Will be really embarrassing when we win then

[OakhamTiger32]

Nice for bath to get something but not sure how that wasn’t a penalty at the scrum to Glos? They absolutely demolished Bath and then 2 phases later it’s a penalty to Bath for holding on

Difference being I genuinely think that, whilst we're likely to lose given the teams respective strengths that our team is capable of putting in a performance that may xenf up with us having picked up some respect

[westwinds31]

There’s a few comedians in the Glos squad I’ve noticed...

Davidson (Jim)
Evans (Lee)
Chapman (Graham)
Morris (Chris)
Clarke (John Cooper)
Walker (Roy)
Thomas (Terry)
Cooper (Tommy)
Clement (Freud)

Did I miss anyone ?

You have to worry what Leinster and La Rochelle are going to do to Bath in a couple weeks time don't you

[westwinds31]

What did Gloucester learn from that game.......erm nowt

[OakhamTiger32]

You have to worry what Leinster and La Rochelle are going to do to Bath in a couple weeks time don't you

And Exeter and Saints in the Premiership before that!

Sorry, but I don’t buy into the criticism of Gloucester and Sale for their selections. It’s a senior competition and clubs get to choose how to approach it. If you’re aspiring for top 4 and success in Europe it makes sense to see it as a development opportunity, but if you think it will benefit the club why on earth wouldn’t you let your 1st team squad get in a winning groove and boost morale (on field and in the stadium)?

It’s great that Tigers are in the former category at the moment - but feels like there are some short memories here. We’re 8 matches into a good run - hardly a dynasty and a couple of years ago I doubt we’d have criticised Tigers for using this competition in the way Gloucester and Sale are.
