Hello and welcome to tonight's Premiership match between Gloucester and Sale. Both teams sit in the bottom half of the table but it is Gloucester who are worse off. They lie 3rd last and are in need of a win tonight if they are to compete for top 4. Sale on the other hand would go 5th with a win tonight. Both sides have fielded strong teams and we are in for a very good game. Stay with us as kick off is just around the corner.
