The referee brandishes his yellow card for the fifth time today. This time its for James Hook who is sent to the bin after making a try saving tackle but he then killed the ball

the team need him, hook can kick so play Robson and let Hook kick

Try Brive. After just missing out on a try and seeing the ball turned over a poor clearance kick gives Brive a LO in a great attacking position. They secure the LO and get the maul rolling at some pace which forces Gloucester to bring it down illegally so the referee runs under the posts and awards a penalty try

Brive look to strike back right away but Purdy makes an unbelievable try saving tackle on Namy

I'd like to know why as well.

Try Gloucester. They make their dominance at scrum time count as when the Brive pack goes down the referee has no choice but to award a penalty try

Gloucester a pressing for their third try and almost get it but Twelvetrees is held up over the line. Scrum 5 and the way that the scrums are going Gloucester will surely be looking to get a push on here

13 v 14 now as Asieshvili, who only came on at half time, is sent to the bin after another Brive scrum collapses. Thats 3 yellow cards in the last 7 minutes of play

Halaifonua is sent to the bin for a dangerous tackle. He was both late and used very little arms. Gloucester lose their man advantage

Half time here at the Stade Amedee-Domenech and Gloucester are leading 17-6. After an even opening 25 minutes the leading side in this competition have taken control of this game scoring 2 tries through, Kvesic and Robson. The break has come at the right time for the homeside as Gloucester were dominating but if Brive come out fighting at the start of the second half this game will be far from over
