Jonny May possible carrying an injury which would be a big loss for Gloucester

decisions

I haven't seen them play at all this season, but to be 5th in the premiership means they must be doing something well.

What a truly awful decision!

Glass Prison 1214

Try for Mike Tindall

decisions

Terrible call from the touch judge.

And a very easy try is the reward.

Wouldn't mind if he went off at all. Get a look at Monahan.


Gloucester score a try after an absolute joke of a decision from the assistant to call for a penalty.

His knee looks very heavily strapped, I assume Monahan is IQ?

Brainless!

He is fully Irish, was in the Leinster academy, moved to Connacht then to the championship before securing a contract at Gloucester. He has been good for them, scored four tries against London Irish earlier in the season.

awec

Nice try for Biarritz. Crap kick from Gloucester, and crap defence mind.

decisions

And another Gloucster yellow. They don't stand a chance.

decisions

Majestic little chip, and a brilliant catch for the try.

awec

Referee off injured.

decisions

Lacey has done himself and injury. I think both sides will be happy with that.

The shed certainly like it.

.ak

Pity, I really like how Lacey refs games

awec

Biarritz are battering them here, those yellow cards are really costing Gloucester.

So do I, he's very clear about what he wants, the players always know what they are going to get and he doesn't take any crap from anybody.

decisions

I don't see how Gloucester can come back from 14-27 down.

Rightwing

Same old story with Gloucester, flatter to deceive. Must be a horrible team to support.

ongarite

WHAT A TRY!!!

GAME OVER

awec

What a fantastic counter attack that was. Amazing.

Game over.

jamiedav2011

Not much to fear in this for Leinster if we can get past Wasps.

decisions

Just when I thought Gloucester could come back into it Biarriz run the length of the pitch.

decisions

Gloucester just don't have the execution, they have the potential but they just aren't finishing their chances and the defense leaves something to be desired.

ssaye

wingers having loads of fun for Biarritz, the matador step haha

awec

Another Biarritz try. This game is incredibly one sided, Gloucester have been useless.

Swan Curry

Some dodgy penalties allow Biarritz to march up the pitch and score 41-17.

decisions

Monahan scored a descent try there, showed a lot of strength.

thomond2006

not watching it but I'm stunned at the scoreline!

errlloyd

That was class by Gloucester. Fair play to them!!!

decisions

And another try, only a consolation but they showed a lot of heart.

31-41 final score.

awec

31-41 final score.

vienne86

Another converted try for Glocester. Too late though.

ssaye

Crazy game, defence eh no thanks let just go nuts

thomond2006

So Leinster/Wasps vs Biarritz then?

paddyref

Never sae Shane Monahan before very powerful with the ball,defo one to watch

[Jackass]

Didn't see the game, but surprised by the result.

I know Blanco's Biarritz are desperate to be amongst the European heavy weights, so take all European competition very seriously, but thought Gloucester at home would have had enough.

Personally, if Leinster are to win tomorrow, I would have preferred to play Gloucester, but we wont get too far ahead of ourselves!

If Munster don't announce a signing of Shane Monahan during the week I'll be dissapointed :P
