And we're underway for the second half at Kingsholm
A poor miss from Orquera brings an action packed half to an end. Zebre have produced some promising passages of play and have defended well but superior Gloucester attacking has proved the difference.

The perfect conditions at Kingsholm have made for attractive expansive rugby, more of which can be expected in the second half so stay tuned for further updates.
