Laidlaw moves the ball quickly off the back of the LO and May does tremendously well to slip through Yarde's challenge and makes 10.
Ollie Lindsay-Hague returns fire and Gloucester look to run it. They swing the ball left and then right but are turned over. Penalty comes, and Hook finds touch on the Quins 10.
May fields the restart and feeds to Hibbard who carries into contact. After two more phases, Laidlaw opts for territory.
With 6 minutes left on the sin-bin, Gloucester will need to start the second strongly if they're to capitalise on the one-man advantage. Both sides back on the field. Evans will kick off part two..
Gloucester lead by two at half time after a terrific first half battle. The scrum's been the difference so far this afternoon, and the Quins are struggling. Marler's already picked up a yellow and the Gloucester pack don't look like easing up. Although in the lead, the visitor's will rue missed opportunities, particularly in the closing minutes of the first half.
Is it a good game??
Thanks Sam
