Deacs' Week: Gloucester Rugby's big guns are firing – now...
- 191
Gloucester’s 33-33 draw with Northampton Saints was a great advert for Aviva Premiership rugby.
You could see the improvement in Gloucester and the irony of it is that, with the nature of the game, the boys were probably more disappointed than if they had lost.
At the same time however they will be elated with their performance.
They played incredibly well in the first half but you always had a feeling that Saints were going to come back into it.
They are such a strong team that they were always going to have a purple patch.
They always hold their nerve and that’s exactly what they did.
