Not really, to my eyes the ref seems to be doing a decent job, Gloucester's yellow may have been harsh on closer viewing but they did seem to get away with a high hit on Goode a minute or so earlier.
Agree, the only debatable one for me was if the Jamie George one should have been red, but yellow is consistent with other games recently
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Gloucester really seem like one trick ponies, if they can't get their lineout maul going they really don't seem to have anything else to go to.

Saracens have put Gloucester to the sword here, shown what a step there is between them and the teams fighting for that last top 4 spot

Abject but Gloucester to me are the epitome of flat track bullies, I cannot see them realistically beating any of the current top 3 teams in the Prem.

True; and Saracens growing in confidence (arrogance) when we meet them in the final

That's the worry, they look very good currently and are the only team I think we would struggle with in the Prem if we played our best XV.

Farrell superb tonight. Sat so flat, distribution immaculate, driving the defensive effort. Kicking 100% I think.

Sarries very, very impressive. I know Glouc are far from the finished article, but 44 points at Kingsholm is still no mean feat.

If we face them in the final I'd have a very 2011 kinda feeling.

I’m thinking that 2011 is a good comparison in the sense at that point we were the dominant force and had been for 10+ years where Sarries were trying to usurp us.

We, after being in the doldrums for nigh on a decade, are the upcoming young team trying to beat the all conquering Sarries and set our own mark for the coming years.

This is the first time for 15-20 years I see a dozen or more potentially international (or even world class players in some cases) being here for the next 10 years (JVP, Heyes, Dolly, Whitcombe, Chessum x2, Martin, Reffell, Kelly, Steward, Potter, Porter etc

We have a chance of creating a real dynasty if we sprinkle in quality overseas players like Montoya, Liebenberg, MVS, Moroni, Wiese etc that will hopefully stick around even when big salaries are on offer overseas.

We are at the start of our cycle which is mouth watering when you think how good we might be if SB, KS and AW stick around for a few more years too

Think so he's only played 261 minutes this season due to injuries.
