Poor kick from Sharples goes out on the full when he had acres of space to aim at
Brilliant try from the Gloucester backs. Twelvetrees goes quick from the lineout, passes to May who steps past two defenders before passing to Purdy who beats the final man and socres
Hook is first to a loose ball and hacks on but fortunately for the home side Palazzani scrambles back just in time and runs the ball into touch
Early penalty fro Zebre gets them an attacking position, however Gloucester steal the ball on the ground and clear
Half time in this Challenge cup game and Gloucester lead 10-6. Zebre were on top for the early parts of this game but Gloucesters higher skill level is starting to show. Johnny May is wreaking havoc on the Zebre defence and it was his break that set up the first try. Just when Zebre looked to have a chance to claw their way back into this game with the man advantage Odiete goes and gets himself sent off , presumedly ruing any chance his side had here today.
Zebre have a big task ahead of them now as they will play the rest of the game with 14 men. Odiete who is just on a couple of minutes is red carded for an extremely dangerous tackle on McColl who was in the air when Odiete hit him.
what happened??
Big call from the referee here. Puafisi is punched and he retaliates but he is the only one who is sent to the bin
Morgan collects a Braley box kick and passes to Thomas who knock on with space in front of him
Making his claim before cook comes back
