Gloucester go to the corner but Dawidiuk is pushed in to touch after a blindside move. But after going to the TMO, referee Luke Pearce shows a yellow card to Steve Borthwick after taking out the Gloucester lifter in the lineout. Saracens down to 13 men! Gloucester opt for a 5 meter scrum against 6 forwards and Brad Barritt scrumming down for Saracens!

Substitute Robson shows great pace to get through the Saracen's defence. Brought down just before the try line and Billy Vunipola is shown a yellow card for slowing the ball down as Gloucester show their first sign of coming close to scoring a try.

Penalty for Gloucester and Burns drives the ball into touch in the Saracen's 22. Can they get the first points in the second half and salvage anything from this game?

Try for Saracens. After a number of resets, Saracens' backline finally gets a hold off the ball and outstanding handling gives Alex Goode a half gap and his momentum drags him over the line. Farrell converts. Saracens looking for the fourth try. Hard to see Gloucester coming back from this one.

The resulting maul from the lineout is disrupted by Gloucester and turned over. But Saracens return the favour as they drive Gloucester back over their own line and it results in a scrum for Saracens 5 metres out.

A clearance kick by Freddie Burns is blocked down by Saracens. Second half starts as the first half finishedas Saracens have a line out 10 metres from Gloucester's try line.

Welcome back to Kingsholm. Let's hope the second half is more competitive than the first. First act is in Gloucester's favour as Farrell restarts the game but it's out on the full. Scrum to Gloucester on the halfway line.

Nigel Davies should go back to the 70's. Give his boys an orange at halftime and eat them in the front of the shed, they can give the half time talk

And it's half time at Kingsholm. Sustained pressure and attack from Saracens leaves them at the right end of a 16 point gap at half time. In a half where almost no play occurred in the Saracen's half, could Billy Twelvetrees penalty give the home side a ***** of light? Two tries from De Kock and Strettle leave Saracens in a strong position at half time. Let's hope Nigel Davies and the famed Gloucester crowd can get their team up for the second half.

Gloucester get lucky. An attack to nothing leaves Twelvetrees in the position where he chips through the Saracens defence. His chase is impeded by Saracens and Twelvetrees is given a penalty on the Saracens 10 metre line. He converts the penalty to register the Cherry and White's first points.
