- 1296
Gloucester march to a bonus point victory against an Exiles side that certainly fronted up against the Cherry and Whites. Ollie Thorley became the first Cherry and White to score 11 tries in a Premiership season while Stephen Varney rounded out the scoring to make it 36-23. Lloyd Evans scored the first try in the 9th minute with Jackson opening the scoring five minute prior from the tee and added another soon after Evans' try. Ollie Thorley and Ollie Hassell-Collins both scored before the break as Gloucester lead 17-13. Agustin Creevy got the Exiles in front with a well finished try from a driving maul while Louis Rees-Zammitt left the London Irish defence is his wake as he sped to yet another try. Jack Stanley powered over from close range after a nice attack from Gloucester with Paddy Jackson giving the Exiles some hope with 13 minutes to play as he made it a 6 point game but man of the match Varney scored the try that sealed the victory.
