Fraser Balmain - 7īailed his side out of trouble more than once at the scrum when they were under pressure. Adds a presence in the loose that means Gloucester are blessed with two quality hookers. 13 tackles represents his relentless work off the ball. Santiago Socino - 8Ī beneficiary of the seemingly unstoppable rolling maul as he secured his side’s second try, all as a result of his pinpoint line-out throws. Energetic and lively in the loose, his set piece was rock solid and he even chipped in with a turnover. The prop is one of the unsung heroes of this ever-improving Gloucester side. Kept his team moving forward and injected pace to set his side’s attack free. Showed poor discipline with a dangerous swinging arm that deserved yellow. Ben Meehan - 7Īccurate early box-kicks relieved pressure, including one booming 70 metre clearance. However, in attack his ability to select the right option unlocked the hosts on multiple occasions and ultimately his place kicking proved to be the difference.

Everyone in Cherry and White will hope it’s not as bad as it looked. Five carries and five tackles before hobbling off at the death. The veteran seems to have endless time on the ball and consistently got over the gain line and allowed his side fastball to attack from. Mark Atkinson - 8ĭefensively sound and laid the platform for the visitors going forward during the first half with some direct carrying, with just enough footwork to get beyond the first defender. The Georgian displayed his defensive capabilities with a superb last-ditch challenge to deny Joe Cokanasiga when Bath looked set to crash over early in the second half. In for the absent Chris Harris following his knock against Saracens and did a very solid job in his place. Made 41 metres going forward when given the chance. He was denied in the first half by an excellent cover tackle but proved a constant threat when the opportunity arose. Louis Rees-Zammit - 7Ī quiet afternoon with limited ball coming his way for the Welsh flyer, but whenever it got into his hands he looked lethal. Opportunities with ball in hand were limited and replaced on the hour mark by Jonny May.
