Always crashes over

Roll on Heineken cup. Munster wil do the double on Gloucester. ;)

And that's it from Kingsholm. Gloucester will be disappointed to let the points slip at home in this first round encounter. They fought back well in the second half to close the gap to 3 points at one stage, however they just ran out of steam at the end. Sale will leave here in high spirits after a hard fought away win to open their account for the season. Thanks for following with us here at Ultimate Rugby
