@Will I was just typing to say you might be a bit ambitious thinking Gloucester could hold on with a man down before Strettle went over.
Saries looking to gain the upper hand now. They exploit the extra man well with a wide move from touch line to touch line ending in a simple draw and give for Tomkins to put away David Strettle.

Will Gloucester be able to maintain this work rate and regain control of the game? As a #saints fan I hope they do!

Freddie Burns looking very cool with ball in hand, pinning Saries back at every opportunity. Lancaster are you watching?

Billy Vunipola gets Saries on the front foot with a tackle-busting run. In the end Gloucester concede a penalty 5m out.

Great start to the 2nd half for the home side. Tavis Knoyle gathers the restart but is immediately ushered into touch. Saries lineout 22m out.

Freddie Burns has put in a massive shift in this 1st half kicking 14 man Gloucester into a half time lead. When Wood was sent off after a mere 70 seconds one would have thought that the home side would find this game a lot easier than they are. Instead Saries are being forced to work for everything, getting nothing easy! The big question is will the Cherries and Whites be able to maintain this concentration for the next 40? Stay put to find out.

2 tackles in a row Strettle has been poor in the contact and consequently a penalty

Once again Gloucester win a penalty off a strong chase off a box kick. Can Burns give the away side the lead just before the break?

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

A great kick-chase forced Strettle to concede a penalty allowing Gloucester to launch an attack into the Sarries 22m

Sarries succeed in putting a few phases together in the Gloucester half. Eventually the cherry and whites can no longer deal and concede a penalty at the breakdown
