Also enjoyed Els’ cameo. Great steal followed by a good break
and seemed fine on the scrums. He’s had good moments whenever
I’ve seen him play, we just haven’t seen enough of him. If he’s
fit, he could be a good new asset.

The wind certainly seemed to pick up between the warm-up and the
kick-off, affecting all the kickers during the game. What was
interesting to me was that Marcus was practising Spiral Bomb
kicks a lot during the warm-up. I know the cognoscenti in the
media have been bigging up Ford's use of this style of kick as a
part of how Tigers are bossing things at the moment. It could be
that either Snap or Marcus has thought it's worth trying to add
that to our arsenal.
That was my second visit to Kingsholm (first as an opposition
supporter). Will definitely head there next season, particularly
as it's an easier trip than the Stoop! Mind you, I think we have
far greater options in terms on food and drink inside the Stoop
than they do at Castle Grim. Also, if/when the Stadium
redevelopment happens at The Stoop, I hope to god they
incorporate the curve that we currently have in the East Stand!
I was in Block Q in the main South (Malvern Tyres) stand and it
was almost impossible to see what was happening in the corner
where Danny scored his try, because of all the people along the
rows in the way. The regular Gloucs supporters I was sat next to
said that when play gets in that area of the pitch, they just
watch it on the screen above the Shed. I much prefer having the
curved stand we currently have as it means a lot more people can
watch the action directly, rather than having to rely on the
screens.

I thought so too. Late in the game, Dayglo was spouting off that
"The lineout hasn't been working well for Quins" and I thought
hang on a sec, we haven't lost one yet
It was interesting that we had Tiz, Symons and Kenningham
jumping. I wonder who was calling them? It's possible that Tiz
is actually a better lineout runner than Lewies - which might
change the equation of what Quins should do to try to keep him.
It's also increasingly noticeable how much Kenningham is filling
Robshaw's boots - Robbo use to take a lot of crunch lineouts,
especially when the darts weren't going well, and Kenningham is
now doing the same on a regular basis

Was also in Block Q, sadly a huge metal post in the way.
Think castle grim needs a little more work on it ;D
Good day out, the Glouc fans certainly have a loud voice/bray.
Well done Quins! COYQ!

That particular poster really doesn't like Quins (to be fair,
they probably really don't like anyone else, but I only tend to
read there when we're playing them).
I don't think that bearing a grudge against Esterhuizen for the
red card last season is unreasonable though - it was a really
cheap shot. Members of this board still blame Saracens for
ending Lowe's career, though the player that did it is long
gone.

Agree. Id love him to stay fit and get a run. I think he could
turn out a very good back up to Marler

You are likely to get your wish sooner or later. I imagine that
Botta won’t be retained once his contract is up, for all that
he’s now playing well. Botta is not much younger than Marler and
probably on a decent salary. I could see Quins slimming down the
prop roster to Joe, Els and Baxter.

Why would anyone want slim props?

I wonder if we may see props covering both sides gong forward.
Less in the squad. Already Baxter is playing TH and LH, Kerrod
covered LH this season.

Also in block Q yep posts a pain, most of the Glos supporters
great, one silly old sod who when they scored proudly stuck his
fingers up at our group
Still you always get a few at every ground
Trains home an absolute nightmare with cancellations galore
But even with all that a great trip, and thought we wrestled the
win and it really could have gone either way
Think this coming Saturday will be (another) massive test
