38 Internationals spread among both sides so let’s have a look at how they line up three changes in the glester Packers El Perry Kelsey Jones and Alex Matthews reinforced the tank Sarah Becket shifting to the second row alongside Monahan mohun back to Captain the side from scrum half while Emma
Singh returns at 15 a late change sees pip hendy come in for a pwr league debut with Rachel lunda late withdrawal Millie Hyatt England under 18’s fly half coming on to the bench eight Wales Internationals in sha Lyn Squad today and the headline From sarson’s perspective was perhaps the absence of
Sophie De goody top Point scorer this season took a knock in the win against exitor last week Georgio Evans then slipping into the back row as cover which sees Emma Taylor come into the second row Kelsey Clifford the other change in the pack the only other switch
Is at scrum half where lean infant’s rotated in to start with Vias on the bench co- Captain Marley Packer one of three Saron in the last rounds team of the week with Campbell and greggson also featuring having been victorious in the big game at Twickenham against harle quins glester hary effectively started a
Four-week block after Christmas concludes today with this match against Saron followed by twoe break they’ll pick up with a visit to tigers on the third of Feb so today’s chance to secure Victory is an important one well Marley Packa leads out the visitors been just over a year since
Sar’s lost in a regular League fixture they missed out on the playoff final for the first time in the League’s history having won the title three times previously sha Lin commented on the Saron style this week saying it’s physical and they have to stick to what they believe
In you might know what’s coming from the league leaders stopping it of course is an entirely different thing Marley Packer England Skipper sarson’s co- captain and here come the hom side let out out by Mo hunt by all accounts a very positive training week for sha lindside as they prepared for this huge
Encounter it is remarkable that they have not managed victory in the previous encounters at home against the north londoners hunt captaining the side having played Off the Bench last week referee for this one is Harry wbam spent a fair amount of time refereeing through the prim 15s as was
He’ll be assisted by Jonathan Healey and Paul dicks our TMO is Peter [Applause] Allen cluster harrey playing in their traditional cherry and white as you would expect at Kings home sar’s in the white away strip okay well they call themselves the circus around here ring leaders acrobats strong women everywhere you look these
Are the Premiership women’s rugby contests we all look forward to First effort was backwards from gallagan and knocked on by CLE good afternoon in commentary Shan lrap hi Nick great to be here today for this top of the table Clash great kickoff there by George and probably a disappointing start there from from
Sar’s knock back by Gan and then po CLE not the start I’m sure she would have wanted today but hopefully she for forget about that mistake and move on because we’ve got a pretty good game on our hands B just warming up those fingertips no doubt
Set we are set for the big Thor given that it’s uh been hovering around zero for the last few days but uh can tell you from up in our commentary position it’s it’s not warmed up yet has it no it’s still still pretty chilly and it’s uh pretty chilly here and gloss I
Think actually a bit colder than than whales where I left this morning it will be slow so please be patient players will be Keen to warm up those hands avoid those little errors Crouch hunt Waits bind set controlled at the back with Alex Matthews then we’ll flick it away to her
Fellow Rugby World Cup winner it’s a decent bus through the middle first of all as Karen Lake will offer herself then Sarah Becket Matthews sha Lyn said this week we call her the fixer having rested Alex Matthews last week and it’s more good forward thrusting from glester harbury
Played from Beth and Lewis on for Matthews cinky George looking for the big one over the top it was taken by Lake fed on for Singh singer still going ever sing look for all the money like she’s driven her way over the line happy okay
No try clear knock on on field just been knocked on over the line well our initial look thought she might over but I’m sure we’ll have the angle that tells us yeah the AR was certained there wasn’t he come straight to the referee and knocked
On over the line I was about to say what a finish by eming you know she bumped the sar’s player here she goes bumps Z Sydney greggson there ah knocks the ball on on her on her way down towards the whitewash I’ll be pleased with that positive carrying start in the Saron 22
Yeah definitely you know I think that’s an area really bloster hary need to match Saron today is that physical battle that gain line battle because we know sarens are a direct side so they’d be pleased with that start well GL hary will be Mighty pleased with the statement they’ve just made against the
Saron scrum driven them back over their own Tri line got themselves a penalty against the head marks over here number three collaps of scrum what a scrum against the head five met out you know Sarah is thinking for sure they’re going to clear clear their lines there but
Credit to the Gloucester harbury pack and that Gloucester front row El Perry Kelsey Jones Cecilia to a plot to okay gler legal set up really dominant there but there the work of the full pack Perry just going in and having a word with Kelsey Jones before this one comes in big Jump
By Georgia Brock no Zoe Aloft of course at the minute one of a fairly decent list of players out injured penalty Advantage already coming cilia Toot’s tried to go round on that side and effect the carry they’re getting closer to the line has the ball managed to find it okay time off Natasha
Just having a look to see if it was down Fe we’re just going to have a look at that please we are going to employ our TMO har just we’ve got the ball on the line so the onfield decision is try just want to make sure how it how it got there there
Was no issue if not we’re coming back for penalty advantage to Goa okay different player to place or same okay so there’s the conversation with the officials yeah yes we’re coming back for that it’s hard to see is in Nick from this angle but I think the skip Mary Parker
There’s enough to disrupt that mole and maybe stop glester hary getting over the line he’s under Kelsey Jones there Kelsey tries to relay that ball oh is it grounded see key yeah we just having a look mate can you an intricate one this is it Harry WBAL is uh wanting to just request
Other angles this one here yeah so Peter what we’re trying to obtain is if that ball gets put down now I think that’s dotted down by Alex Matthews there so she has one go to place the ball and she puts it down this is I’m happy with that y AG T good
Thanks very much T good well there’s the angle T good it will be the first try of the game Alex Matthews managing to dot it down yeah I’ve got to credit Kelsey Jones there you know at the back of the driving Mall Marley pner does a great
Job to try and come in and disrupt that driving Mall gets under Kelsey Jones but instead of just fighting to present and and score that try Kelsey pushes it back allowing Alex Matthews to do that ball down and a great try from gluster harbury it’s been all lamb in the first three minutes
Yep good CH thank you Phil Dixie just be aware when we get in that position again there may be a bit of dispute by the time they get to the sheds to uh who scored that whether Kelsey Jones was the one who dotted it down at the back or whether Alex
Matthews was the one on hand to do it I’m sure they’ll both want to claim it but it’s a great team try all come from set piece Nick from the scrum penalty to the driving Mall forwards getting through some great work then Emma Singh oh just off the near
Side upright from her kicking position gluster hary on the board though and a really decent statement made by the Home side inside the first four minutes yeah it’s a huge statement they come to Kings they want to put on a show they’re here they’re here to play they’re matching so
Far s’s with a physical and then set piece coming through and clinical in that area Becket just put herself forwards to opt to take that instead of Matthews fakey George was under a fair amount of pressure from Georgia Evans breach did well to take it just a little bit of a
Juggle got the Ooze from the king’s home crowd thank instead of going to the right lean Infante it’s given the call to go to the left as Marley p gets out the big F big fend to her little friend in MO hunt red Rose’s teammates of course and there are plenty of those
Dotted all around the park as well as Welsh as well 15 cat dreed roses across both squads 10 across both in terms of Wells contingent as well that there’ll be no love lost today Harrison’s just patient chip across from McDougall well it has found LTE clap but it was lateral more than it was forwards teams talk about wanting to play in The Wider channels find the width sar’s at least managing to achieve that Kelsey Clifford takes it forwards and then
CLE poppy CLE not included in that January training camp Squad that was named by John Mitchell this week effectively Mitchell’s first naming all a training Squad as they start to look towards that women’s Six Nations at the end of March offside number three yeah good good PA missar is going through the
Phases like you said Nick get into the white channels finding finding that edge playing and then the big ball carriers in the middle trying to impose their physicality on this on this Gloucester defense good phases good composure there by the S side their first bout of possession really this game McDougall okay
Gler putting Saron into the Gloucester hartrey 22 Shan lrap former cluster harrii and Wales International Wales Captain with us for this tasty topof the table encounter as Rosie gallagan does the job at the top of the [Applause] lineup 14 caps as a red rose now gagan okay that’s one spell at Harley
Quins but then back with the north londoners Sarah becket’s got herself into it position there comes down into Midfield Bridget former GLA harrey girl herself was lifting the Trophy last season before she went to North London but now it’s her former side who are back on the ball but now
It’s loose and it’ll be penalty time against Saron yeah great line up by SAR showing their setpiece expertise as well good driving Mall good patience and then big shot on Sophie Bridger in the Midfield and I think it was was one of the Gloucester Stars Alex Matthews has been everywhere in the first eight minutes of this game getting
Over that ball and disrupting that ball forcing the turnover and then eventually resulting in a penalty for gler harbury they’ll be pleased with that defensive set Saron seemed to be pushing composure physicality but uh well controlled by gler harbury they’ll have quite enjoyed getting a little shot on one of their
Former players there won’t they with the sson shirt on now but pounced on to give up the penalty yeah absolutely you know siie Bridge just be named in the England squad as well outstanding player and I was actually super impressed with her at Gloucester last year I think she’s a a
Superstar in the Mak so gler will be pleased to contain D early and put in that short neck Monahan Irish International brings it down Hunter’s just been scragged by gallagan and then clap getting in for the turnover from SAR thank You might expect temperatures to simmer along nicely in King’s home this afternoon on the ball yeah definitely got to credit L Capia the the the co- Captain she identified that Mo might have been ins isolated come in off her wing for that turnover great body position and a a crucial turnover there
For for SAR but credit to l clap to identify that Mo might have been isolated okayer thank you one try on the board Alex Matthews helping Kelsey Jones over get the ball down it’s now there with May Campbell in last rounds team of the week but it may as well be the forward
Pack at the hole Marley Packer was another one in that team of the helping give it plenty of go forward now they’ve got some R to try and send GRE on outside Arc no don’t knock on we go back where’s the mark Infante okay fascinating battle this afternoon with the two two lifted
Players legs in the mall course Infante late withdrawal for that Rugby World Cup final played in 22 in New Zealand she was in the semifinal Mohan left back cut home by Simon Middleton at that stage but well what a period has been since hunt awarded Now red roses contract infant
Seeming set outside the inner circle now yeah it’s always a good battle on the field between the both of them isn’t there and you know what Nick we’ve got lots of good head-to-head battles here today good more down from gallagan s straight in to engage referee warning them it’s more
Lateral than it’s going forward start using please and told to use Infante Bridger dummed the ball out the back well wrapped up again George seems to be man marking but perhaps George not guilty of rolling away sufficiently so now there’s a penalty Advantage as s’s
Go the same way comes off the boot of McDougall into the hands ofal Georgia Evans Saron under to the Penalty Advantage get a chance to go did that go forwards no Advantage go back we will come back we 20 me out no here here here I think gler need
To be careful here Nick I think that’s three penalties potentially in the Red Zone over the last five minutes sar’s obviously hungrier to press stay 10 me no points they’re going to no they’re playing interesting going to be tap and go time they have clear away to the right okay yes please
Clifford well plenty of communication going on as to where they want to be they’re well spread out here Infante oh they’re going to switch it back the other way as Packa goes and then for greggson the line at her mercy but Sam Monahan doing everything she can
Defensively to stop them sar’s get over plenty of cherry and white shirts holding them up and the job is done that is outstanding work by Sam Monahan what a tri saving tackle you know that is straight off the training ground move that is penalty Play Straight off the training ground signey
Gregs was almost over but Sam monan literally physically handles Sydney gron and pulls her back off that line outstanding work Monahan who was Captain last week was up there making the most tackles against heing Trail finders but how about this one yeah great line wasn’t it
By Sydney Gregson but look at Sam she knows exactly where she is you can’t go over there she’s saying and pulls her straight back off but a great training ground move there by Sarah Suns everyone thinks Marley Packers going to carry that but a good line by Cindy Gregson
But great defense by the gler hary player samahan I tell you what we were all cheering on Jody sley with the return of gladiators last week but I think Sam Monahan is uh certainly auditioning for her own opportunity because her ability to wrestle Sison away there she got an application in is
She Nick I think so that’s her application just there that’s a show real now slight worries here with that Karen Lake just down getting some attention yes worrying scenes isn’t it hopefully caring lak so okay obviously Tatiana heard unfortunate to be injured at the moment and missed out today
Lakes’s been a great player for Gloucester and a is outstanding player for will so I hope I hope she’s okay because she’s a quality player and she’ll definitely be a a loss for Gloucester if she isn’t all right well the nature of the uh the late change as
Well seeing pip hendy go to start after Rachel L withdrew this morning well that br Milly Hyatt onto the bench they’ve got n m as well she’s more of a back three player hayatt who may be having to make an early introduction yeah we got that wondering what the call is there
Karen Lake will try and and check what’s going on think it’s gone off under an hiia so held up was the call from sarens is just checking with munt as to what is happening and it is going to be n meta who is coming onto the field okay
Yeah another exciting player for this glosser side another Welsh she actually first cap for wills at the age of 18 out in wxv against New Zealand this year an exciting prospect for the future and is an exceptional Talent so come on Bridget did really well to take that
Given that she might have expected it to be taken in front of her by Infante this is a really solid drive from Saron on the kick return from tack the goal line Dropout Bridger who had an opportunity with England that’s the back inside ball that Marley Packa loves so much Packa to
Within 5 meters in fante was looking for the right option mcdougall’s offered herself CLE big Collision there and I think CLE might have taken one to the face in that Collision Monahan need to be careful Infante picks herself little bit Loose as it finds Emma Taylor Marley Packer looking to tell the
Referee what’s going on gallagan accompanied momentarily by breach is the width there greggson so used to scoring from that sort of distance not quite able to get there this time and now it will be the penalty advantage that comes and I wonder we are going to just hear Harry
Wbam I think with a warning here more more break down breakdown all in this area thank you head here as well contact I’m I’m not sure the team I’ll be clearing it off okay yeah there’s the referee’s warning isn’t it to gler hary I think fourth maybe time in the Red
Zone penalty and saying asking Mohan to speak to her her team sort out this ill discipline I’m surprised there’s no head contact okay surprised uh SAR maybe haven’t looked at the option of of points they’re going to tap and go they were cons ining the points you could
Over here perhaps lean Infante saying that Emilia McDougall wasn’t too happy with a position to kick from there quite low in front of the posts so prefer the option to reload and go and it’s going to be testing the gluster hary defense here the ball that close Matthews has
Died to try and stop it once more Packer looking for the line I don’t think you’ve scored that do you think you have CU I’ll check if you’re 100% Mary I’ve got no try on field so we’re going back for a penalty wait what was the number another
Penalty and it looks like cler hary are going down to 40 and they certainly don’t want to be losing Cecilia Tu Patu given the defensive effort they’re having to put in just now yeah definitely you know we seen the first three minutes gler harrey pressing getting high reward from that but since
That the last 12 minutes it’s been all sarens and down to 14 players now with sarson’s intent and I haven’t come away with points yet but that is so much harder defending with 14 players clear especially in this Nick C Waits over it as Saron look for
Their first there’s going to be no offload to anybody else poppy CLE wanting to take responsibility heart defense effective again having to do it with 14 they keep it tight once more Georgio Evans driving into Alex Matthews held up they are held up and listen to the cheer at King cherry and
White’s denying Saron once more yeah credit to the girls in cherry and white once again maybe they’ve been doing a lot of goal line defensive work because that’s twice now they’ve being held up and you know what Nick it’s a different tactic when a team gets over the line
You want to stop them from score in hold hold them up because it’s a goal line drop up and credit to gluster hary they seem to be really comfortable in their defensive step set and tactically know exactly what they’re doing there sarson’s running it back again bit between their teeth they are
Determined to put these attacking phases to good use they get another penalty homide have to be careful heard Alex OST saying before the game that one of the work on is the penalty count conceded for s in the first 25 well certainly applying the pressure to glester harbury in that
Area yeah definitely is flipped the other way is there you see Georgia Brock great position over the ball but didn’t release from The Tackle you know it’s a key rule if you Tacker you’ve got to show a clear release before going for that ball and there was no clear release
By Georgia Brock mul down from gallagan bridg has joined clap has joined this one moving forward with a bit more purpose SAR getting over the line and getting the try it’s a whole heap of [Applause] bodies try has been scored and after all the toil and effort
They finally get the score that rewards them and it’s May Campbell who’s dotted it down yeah good patience there by the Saron side you know they’re driving mole as being dominant this game they’ve gone to it a couple of times the mid good gain line you see them here look how tight
And organized you’ve got all eight forwards in that mall everyone in syn driving towards the line great patience in the back by May Campbell you even see lean Infante had her weight to the back of that mole and may Campbell the hooker knows exactly where the line is and no
Doubt she was going to score that TR and welld deserved Try by the Saron side it’s been all them for the last 15 minutes May Campbell has been having a great year actually for for sarens the pwr player of the week last week she’s on on top form at the
Moment well that one has just gone wide but well a man who will be keeping a close on things he’s got a women’s Six Nations campaign to look forward to and the coaching staff are in let’s uh head down to Ashley who’s with John Mitchell thanks Nick John it’s great to
See you here and thank you very much for the Harry though you’ve come with the team and you’ve come with the snacks I guess this is a blockbuster game you just couldn’t miss you know it’s a awesome game to be at I mean already you know we’ve had uh two situations where
Glosser started well and they scored and and then obviously SAR have had a long time and glosser 22 so not a lot of rugby played in the middle we’re seeing you at quite a few pwr games how much have you been enjoy enjoying the season yeah it’s it’s a real opportunity to to
Monitor the players um all the coaching staff are at different games we we have responsibilities for different uh positional groups and um we just meet in the week and have discussions around uh the players performances and and look to give them feedback I should say congratulations because this week you
Announced your first ever red roses team ahead of the Six Nations which isn’t that far off how does watching them in action in the in the league get you excited for what’s around the corner oh there’s enormous amount of talent and a lot of competition um we deliberately
Left some people out and we deliberately introduced some some young players to to get an understanding of of what we’re about and and we want to create healthy competition for places so um coming to games like this and watching uh all players and in particular some of the
Players that have still got an opportunity because the doors open for for everyone it’s getting a bit feisty out there can you call this one um I’m not sure probably probably a home performance by Gloucester they they seem well up they’ve defended their goal line
EX well so far well we’ll have to wait and see thanks for your time John yeah thanks very much thanks Ashley Lov to hear from the red roses head coach John Mitchell Shan L I am intrigued mostly at the phrase he said as much about the people he
Selected he said we’ve deliberately left some people out so that is suggesting to some of those left out that they want to see a reaction to that and uh well interesting as ashre back to us that that player was in our frame poppy CLE yeah definitely you know what as a coach
Sometimes you want to see reactions you want to maybe change um the response of a of a player and sometimes you know not being selected is is a tough lesson to to learn but it makes you look at things differently on and off the field and it
Makes you think about what you can do and even though it hurts at the time Nick sometimes you’re grateful for that eventually because it helps you bit of zip put on the play by paig Farris the Canadian International for Saron although it just goes forwards from
Evans of course it was as gler hartrey were building up ahead of Steam down the other end that sarson’s got the key turnover just as we were hearing from John Mitchell ruul look on the face of gagan 14 sub please 14 to bring on a front the
Territory in possession is back back and forth isn’t it okay Mark’s here good tackle by Alex Matthews and pressure by El Perry gler hary look really comfortable in their defensive system they know exactly who’s marking who they’re lining them up making good reads and putting pressure on the the Saron s forcing
Turnovers so in order to have the requisite front row after T bot’s yellow card cluster harre having to make the change they bring on Laura delgardo and Kath Richards is the one that has to make way okay F I’m going to come it’s fair to say Harry WBAL is uh not
Short of advisors for any of the decisions he’s making this afternoon okay so feet up yeah you know why the Nick that’s great because you want the officiating team to work as a a team of three and four uh you know it’s really important as a referee in the
Middle you can’t have eyes on absolutely everything so to have eyes around the field and and upstairs in in TMO and when they work together and saying it you know it helps you as a player um that you know everything’s being watched and you can concentrate on your
Game big games big Focus from players officials hopefully broadcasters alike I’ll manage okay you must wait for the V because you start pushing okay don’t go soft on them I’ll appreciate that I’ll manage that all right shoulder please apologies if you’re just hearing a little bit of the language coming through the referee’s
Microphone must be Legal munt just having a little look Crouch making the observations B expecting fante to be keeping her company as this ball gets to the back of the scrum it’s going to be Alex Matthews in fact Infante Ops to step away and Hunt will have a look down the short side and
Sing and they will find the ball wider they made it look so simple couldn’t quite keep the ball in but how easy it was for now meta with hunt able to probe around the short side yeah really good play there by G hary finding finding the space on
The on the short side of this scrum B from Alex Matthews to Mohan to emmering well drawn by em sing going going down the edge there good and I know Nel meoff has got a boot on her so maybe you know would have liked to seen a little chip
In behind there exploit the space behind the defense felt like that’s what was needed didn’t it although s did have cover in the back field so maybe met was aware of that on her just her second that’s pwr appearance of the season started at fullback last week against dealing Trail finders what a
Mighty scare the homide had then as sarson’s play under a penalty Advantage the little Midfield chick from McDougall that’s well fielded by pit hendy it’s another penalty gler need to be careful you Nick I think they edging towards 10 penalties in the first 24 minutes of course don’t forget it’s a
Big weekend in the invested Champions Cup you can catch every match live all weekend on TNT Sports and when you’re looking for yeah sorry SEC uh front row off yellow card returning yeah that’s not what he said sorry okay back 10 please innel Campbell gallagan was certainly moving around toot straight back into
It well I think Paul dicks the near Side official spting there was an arm interference on the player going upen don’t need the arm in the air there we go there’s the call from the referee some frustrations on the field I think you can see what it what this game
Means to these players today Nick every little win they’re celebrating they want the ball they both want to play both sides on the edge where we are I do like the style of refereeing that Harry wban brings he is calm all the time isn’t prepared to raise the temperature of the
Conversations talks in a very human way to the players doesn’t try and get too authoritative on them [Applause] One sar’s in another visit to the Goa hary 22 away they go with Gregson got some players coming around to the right as clap wants to try and make it work double hit was needed couldn’t quite get the offload away to Faris that would have been the option
Evans turn 27 at the end of the month Georgia R in her third season with Saron Faris distributes for Cle little bit more room on the outside but not enough when Sarah becket’s in town and shows you the side door well done Sarah Becket yeah she knew it was a great little play
Actually from Saron there down the edge but Sarah Becket read it well tracking across field and a and a big tackle into touch don’t forget next Sunday 4th of February or next sorry two weeks away we have Harlequin get S sharks 2:30 PM kickoff TNT Sports one for that one in a couple
Of weeks that’s one we are halfway through the 2024 Australian Open remind you can catch up on all of last night’s action on demand on Discovery plus live coverage of day eight starting at midnight on Discovery plus and Euros Sport and England’s basball Revolution continuing with a five test tour of
India starting next week in hyroad catch every ball exclusively live on TNT Sports and Discovery plus fired back from hunt for [Applause] George McDougall Fields Long one over the top looking for greggson it’s not going to find her instead find sing manages to get the offload away oh and it was an
Opportunity to try and get on her bike for Kath Richards he fancied a chances on the outside but instead the desperation to keep it alive was meant it sarson’s ball and Packer Thunders forwards with it into contact as you’d expect from the England Captain okay leave it you too it’s a
Right arm wrestle and a chess game between these two probably somewhere between the two Cy George for Gregson oh it might just be opening up in the middle momentarily for Hy Bridger given the slap from hunt almost to tell the referee that there’s a player in my way
Sir Lewis then away for Matthews super leg drive from Alex Matthews hunt into the middle pops it back George senses the chance to run through the gap and then find Monahan the offload from Monahan not sure if it was by Design but it got there in the
End sing to the edge of the 22 ball back inside for tuy Patu could she be one wearing a red shirt of another color in three and 1 half years time penalty goes the way of the home side okay that is good meterage from glester harrey yeah outstanding play by the glester harrey
They have an possession this last 15 20 minutes but when they do and they keep the ball alive don’t they look dangerous and they seem to be coming into their own then the offs and how they were playing moving the ball into space comfortable knew exactly where their players were
That’s the gluster har we side we seen last season and uh we’ve seen to the start of this season as well now this for a field position they’re opting to kick it into the corner former captain of Wales tight game Five Points of piece would three points have crossed your
Mind absolutely would have I I actually blown away by both sides they haven’t taken opportunities at at post so far you know at top of the Tagle Clash the win means a lot to both sides they’re both obviously really confident in their attacking abilities well shooker Jones brought down by Irish second row
Monahan twisting and turning thought for all the money it was going to career over the line for a moment there but it’s there for hunt played away as Hannah Jones looked to try and use the footwork and get in under the shadow of the post now can glester harrey show the sort of
Execution that SAR have struggled to show at the other end they’ve got themselves a penalty Advantage oh that was a just a little juggle of the ball was it Beth Lewis marks over here with the quick T Jones going for the line sto just short no not there they’ve only got Kath
Richards over on the right so they’re going to have to turn it back another big Collision in Midfield as May Campbell puts hery on the line defensively for Saron big drive from Perry has greggson held her up up oh it’s held up well we talked at the start
Of the day about the defenses of both of these sides they are the best in the league together and my goodness are we seeing that at either end yeah it’s a huge part of the game isn’t it Nick you know if you’ve got a solid defense it’s
Really hard for teams to score points against you and we see him both sides hungry in defense working hard in defense and really putting pressure on the attack inside both ends of the ball so yeah Glo will be disappointed Not to Come Away with points then front kick restart not the [Applause]
Prettiest oh but the penalty given away George AB Brock was isolated [Applause] early isolated well we heard from England head coach John Mitchell I wonder about one of the men in charge of SAR Ashley Wilmot is with director rugby Alex osty thanks Nick Alex we knew it
Was going to be an arm wrestle today obviously you just clapped that so you’re obviously pleased what have you made of the opening half an hour it’s it’s been a little bit arist has the accuracy and the details not been there I think both teams have done you know
Some real good bits in stopping teams scoring you know we had a lot of pressure a lot of entries there and it came Come Away with the real well really anything and then just then obviously they’ve just end to the 22 a lot of pressure and and again not come away
With a great deal so I think hope we we can start to tidy things up execute a little bit better and take advantage of the opportunities we’re creating but yeah it’s it’s say an arm wrestle and the momentum swing quite quickly based on erors and turnovers and penalty count
So hopefully we can uh build on the back of that interception I was going to say what do you make of that yeah see what comes of it there’s opportunities but can we execute and that’s probably what’s been lacking um certainly this first 30 minut but Fair Credit To Go’s defense put a
Lot of pressure on as well but we’ve got to we got to find more ways of being better when it really counts in that in that 22 well you both have the best defenses in the league do you feel like what you’ve been building on this week
Ahead of this game has translated onto the pitch today some bits some bits uh the chop shot stuff uh has worked for a few turnovers but I still think that there’s there’s some more gears to go through certainly defensively and then attacking wise as I keep saying we we
Need to execute better and that’s being a real big focus on on on coming into this game because we know they’re a very good side thanks for your time back to you Nick thank you Ashley from Alex OST wants to see more defense as if we’ve not seen enough from both sides
Already it is absolutely engrossing Mohan offers a varied game kick pass run from scrum half and McDougall was well found Marley Packer with the clear out to allow Saron to maintain possession that was critical from the red roses Skipper now it’s there for Infante rotating with vas for that Harrison’s nine
Shirt Premier 15’s Champion with harle quins in 2021 kayy George Singh comes forward partly stopped by Bridger first penalty on the floor four it’s gone against Emma Taylor Canadian International yeah both teams bringing a bit of kicking game into it now we’ve seen some boxes bit of variation in the game
Changing it it up a little bit threats everywhere on the field for both sides but defenses are so good at the moment both teams are really good attacking sides but we’re Limited in seeing points because the defenses have been so brutal and accurate Really Monahan at the tail down for hunt and then George and then Becket with the carry sha Lin saying that she’s been a big time player for them on the TNT games against exitor and Harley Quin Sarah Becket it’s just been exceptional that Ball’s floated on the outside oh
But that time opting to put the ball on the toe from Metar it was just forced over the white wash on down the touch line so harison will have the line out yeah that’s unlucky that is you know he a great ball by K George the Welsh
Pair in lovely direct pass to the edge to n me up and the right option really sarson’s defense was a right option to put a little chip in but unfortunately straight into touch ball in from May Campbell not the best Georgia Brock is there ready to pounce on the
Spoils Becky just had to check the run as Bridger had flood flooded up on the outside Channel Advantage CLE the tack oh and there’s another penalty Lewis accompanied by Kelsey Jones loud blast on the [Applause] whistle no love loss there between England teammates whilst on Club Duty listening I’ll give you
Time got one there one there where we ended up we end yeah it’s interesting to see what what happens here now it’s a draw five message clear good thank you eying up the corner again here eying up the corner you know potentially if they took the last three points it’s eight five
Another three points it’s 11 five but obviously back in they set piece today that driving Mall back in the four to get through some work here they know they’ve got the TV audience today they know we want tries on TNT Sports in premiership women’s rugby and glester harrey looking to strike again taken
That time in the middle by Matthews then it’s there with Kelsey Jones it is still moving there a splinter that falls and now penalty Advantage Mohan open Palms to the referee appealing and in fact we’re going to see a yellow card and it’ll be for poppy [Applause]
C yeah that was clinical Nick you can see around the back of the mall and pulls the Gloucester players to the ground disrupts that mall glester look go like they were going forward and looked comfortable in their setup one yellow card a piece then after we
Had to aoto off earlier it’s now CLE for sarens and ler har we take advantage this time they call again to Matthews and they roll around the front there aren’t many numbers there initially for sarens now they drive through and get over the line for the score Kelsea Jones gets the
Try and gler hary get themselves back in front at King all CLE had yeah yeah great work by the cluster harbury pack patient knew they had it in their locker here you see execution of the line out all eight players in sync spin around the edge of that SAR but a great finish
By Kelsey Jones because this driving Mall does splinter but she knows where the line is and she knows it’s broken off so she doesn’t stay attached to Cecilia to Patu there breaks off ensuring that score for glester hary really well taken TR Kelsey Jones on the full-time contract with Wales signed
Last March played every test last year and in 2022 as well Rugby World Cup campaign and now Emma Singh came into this match with 75% accuracy goes through a pre-match routine pre-match preck routine I should say gives it a good belt but it will fade past the upright so n from two for
So far and uh just enough time on the clock before it turned red to mean that we will have a Saron restart number 10 I try speak last on the line or behind it please not three me in front thank you it’s going to be contestable gregson’s managed to get up there for
It and the ball went forwards referee will blow the halime whistle well what an grossing first half we’ve had here at Kings home as the current Champions take on the league leaders they’ve managed to get themselves in front by two tries to one but this match very much hanging in
The balance at halim in premiership women’s rugby it’s glester hary 10 Saron five The Plains of King Zone what chance seeing a prowling lion or two out of the assembled Internationals we have among the two squads today of course news in the week the first ever British and
Irish Wom women’s Lions team was announced confirmed to tour New Zealand in 2027 you’ll be forgiven if your mind starts to wonder as mind did this week over who might make the touring party in three and a half years time 33 english World Scots and Irish C players among
Both the Gloucester and SAR squads but I think my uh my favorite Outlook Nolly Waterman saying I feel sorry for the players that were eyeing up retirement in 2025 that might now be thinking they’ve got to go for another couple of years yeah definitely I think we would
See that you know Nick normally it’s a fouryear cycle but then it’s it’s a two more year cycle till the Lions tour and the first ever won who wouldn’t want to be part of that so uh I think we’ll be limited on retirements post rby World
Cup 25 I hear you’ve bought a new pair of boots back out of retirement right second half underway then got engrossing first 40 part arm wrestle part chess game as we were saying the wind now more at the back of the home side we heard from Alex Ury in that first
Half McDougall oh it’s set up nicely for sing but penalty Advantage was being played yeah not rolling away I think the referee signal there bethan Lewis made the tackle just not rolling away quick enough this game has been a penalty Fest lots of penalties but you know what I think that comes
With how good the defenses are as well so it’s it’s frustration sometimes you know but bethan tries to roll away there but blocks infant’s entry into that Rook slowing the opportunity for fast ball down not the most conventional of kicks from McDougall to the far touch line okay that’s your mark Lewis another
One of those who played every Wales test in in the last couple of years com good 10 weeks until the start of the Guinness women Six Nations s’s tackle release haven’t made too many mistakes at the lineup but that’s certainly one Brock okay keep moving thank you Kelsea
Jones is just staying down for a moment someone probably stood on her foot Mohan taken well by clar tackle El Perry named in the England training Squad first time she’s been mentioned in association with the red rose for a couple of years chance to impress last C was against France in
November National’s 2020 that match where Emily scarrett slotted that late penalty and puffed her cheeks oh Sam Monahan’s got in over that one textbook turnover from the Irish Skipper yeah outstanding work with s Monahan again she seems to be amongst everything but credit to pip hendy when
We’ve seen that tackle you know the youngster made a dominant Collision on the Saron player there which allows then Sam to make that reading get over that ball so really good play Sam on hands amongst everything at the moment here we see it the youngster pip hendy on May Campbell
And Sam Onan on her toes in and around that there’s only one play she was going and that’s for that ball and a good good turnover by the girl she was captured against Columbia in wxv definitely an International Tournament that was much needed to put a
Bit of confidence in the bones of the Irish Internationals we get a chance to see how much more competitive they might be at Six Nations time soon Matthews brings that down cries of heave from the shed cherry and whites continue to tick toe forwards that’s the
First moment of inertia that Harry W our referee says might mean they have to use it moh hunt goes looking for it Beck it oh she’ll just take the opportunity to start bowling away through paig Farris it was there for hunt one look from the Str scrum half but the Finish is there
It’s hatrick time for Kelsey Jones yeah it’s been a outstanding game by the forward so far and the Welsh hooker has been behind all of the Gloucester tries for credit to Sarah Beckett she lined up didn’t she the Saron player and thought I’m not going around you I am going through you that
Is what she did here we see it you know good composure in the in the ball referee shout and use it this Rebecca she sees exactly what’s in front of her gets over that gain line and then look at this Kelsey Jones coming slowly round
The back of the roack and then picking a line Hannah good dominant ball carry but then watch Kelsey Jones coming around the back there slowly slowly in that acceleration into that Gap that’s really hard for the SAR defense to hold up super work from Kelsey Jones of course
She was on the score sheet in that Prem final last June proving to be so key this afternoon three tries then can sing it’s notot her first conversion of the afternoon that’s a bit more like it from eming got the Hy 17 sar’s five then and just the statement the homide would have
Wanted to make at the start of this second half yeah definitely what Sean Lynn and his coaching group said in the change room halime has obviously worked they’ve come out with fire in their bellies they’re raring for this second half they’ve got intent about them the clinical act their
Piece and they’re dominating the physical edge of the game as well at at point you know when we know that’s what Saron bring and I bet you they had chat this week about matching that and to be fair to these girls in in cherry and white they matching it this
Afternoon needed someone to claim that and Sarah Beckett was happy to do so hunt for monaha straight through Campbell there and bearing it with the little box kick over the top inviting LTE clap to come oh sorry just breach to come forward and breach using the footwork
Oh First Carry from J breach we haven’t seen too much of it so far in this one and certainly getting more used to a in the 15 shirt Georgia Evans ripped backwards by Red play on not given us the knock on Harry’s trying to counter Ro through Clifford pouring around the corner play
On off the foot play on No Hands second player not out gallagan coming around but he’s ended up in at the side yeah both sides hungry aren’t they Sis’s desperate to get the ball back you know now Gloucester with that third try one just before halftime and that last
Try takes them 12 points ahead but at first I think Rosie Gahan was in the back but then changed in come in the side really expertly taken by paig Farris there former Worcester player who was signed in November a hatrick of scores against s seven wait wait s from the kick from mcdou
Gallagan with the tackle hunt Perry Monahan sensing a chance to just get on the outside Arc and attack Amelia McDougall tuy Patu yellow card in the first half back on carrying duties quick oh Quick Pass from KY George it came off the boot says the referee so sing comes
Back in field gets initially around Sophie Bridget then it’s there for Brock disjointed at times from glester hary but they are still maintaining possession that time it has gone forward so can greggson make anything of it no hands No Hands field Clifford McDougall sending it downfield that’s an intelligent kick from Amelia
McDougall Cy George had a little Jugger with it now at the touch line herself and has dealt with that pretty well given she was staring down the barrel of conceding a 5022 kick okay number four yeah definitely I didn’t catch who the sarson player that made that kick but it
Was a great uh great identification of space 5022 on and flakey George doing a really good job of keeping that in and to be fair the clearance kick with more much of an angle she gathered the ball and had to turn was a was a very good clearance kick
Considering so Grace Moore is player onto the field for sarens S of course who also conceded a yellow card poppy CLE leaving the fields at the end of the first half it’s a big invest DEC Champions Cup weekend round four every match live on TNT Sports make sure okay to keep up

Room gallagan slowed her down then into contact she goes but the ball’s been knocked on now Campbell gallagan how many Rosie gagans are [Applause] there defending attacking she’s everywhere Infante there for Clifford over Kelsey Clifford one of those who may be eyeing up more caps with of course the sad news
Of Sarah Burns injury be looking over her shoulder at Lizzy hanlin who’s also been named in that red Rose’s January training camp Squad this is Bridger former Los of harrey of course more Ops to leave it for Cle fante going left breach popping up at first re [Applause]
Receiver it’s often a sign of where sar’s need to be when you start seeing breach popping up in those positions and linking play haven’t found their Rhythm haven’t been allowed to find their Rhythm by cluster hartrey not a lot of room on that Far Side have kept it infield in fante
Clear that was untidy Advantage knock on back Hannah Jones is going to step in and play scrum half feeds it back to Joan at George no Advantage always Under Pressure you hear the referee we’ll have the scrum from the knockof sub please s’s two and three
Sub over year since sarens have lost in the league they always Come Away With Victory when they come to play glester hary away from home okay scr red ball Mark here scoreboard is going to take some work over the course of the next 28 minutes if they are to turn this result
Around yeah I think we’re seeing a confident L to hary side today I’ve just been so impressed Nick with both team’s defensive please be patient the intent in the collisions The Confident the defensive reads it’s made it really hard for both teams to unleash their attacks
Fully and you know it looked like then SAR were trying to settle back into the game go through the phases in attack but to credit to gloucester’s defense they contained them they didn’t get out that mid Zone in in in the field and then a knock on results
In glester harbury ball it is gluster harbury ball let’s find out what Crouch their head coach is making a at all Sean Linds with Ashley Wilmont Sean you’ve got quite the smile on your face you’re up at halim 10 five you’re now it’s now 17 five you come out firing what have
You made of this game yeah you know it’s going to be a game of 8 minutes the pleasing thing for for us was going in at halftime with a score and then coming out at halftime and we’ve just got a score you know we got to settle a little
Bit there we’ve missed missed touch twice you know but clayy will settle their nerves here and hopefully she’ll find touch and we’ll build that um momentum again we’ve seen sarens come back twice as hard in the second half so many times this season seon and in the
Past what were your messages at halim to try and close them down again yeah everything was going well I think that first 20 minutes just showed our resilience we probably had the ball for about 8 minutes there and we come away 10 five up and um the resilience we
Showed there on the tri line with a Sim bin just show the character of what the squad is about speaking of character Kelsey Jones has she impressed you today oh yeah she has you know and um she’ll give everything she’s been outstanding her her throwing in has been quality but
Everything around the park as well she she’s a good one Sean are the conditions making hard through the kicking today as well yeah it is very windy out there the wind swirling um quite a bit so uh it is very difficult I I don’t want to get
Your hes up too much have you thought about the potential of beating sarens for the first time here at Kings home no not not at all um you know it’s only 53 minutes going to the game 175 this Saron side is a very strong side and they can
Just keep coming back at us thanks your time Sean admire the effort Ashley Shan not being drawn to consider victory at any point yet there is plenty left in this Amelia McDougall starting our sixth Premiership women’s rugby match Zoe Harrison continuing her rehab we have seen Harrison this season but
Between club and Country they’re very key to manage the return from her AC injury you don’t see that very often SAR losing possession once More cluster hartrey defensively doing the business and the shed love it yeah the shed over there Nick will be getting behind this cluster hary got hary side credit there great line out defense mole defense by the cherry and white disrupting sar’s ball and like you say
Saris won’t like that they won’t be used to teams doing that to them often but I think there’s a reason why both these sides are one and two in the league at the moment there’s a reason why we’ve got a great game in our hands because there’s so many element of their game
That is outstanding and you see some great individual players in both sides Matthews little bit behind flaky George he did so well to take it hendy trying to get on the outside manages to get the ball away meta done well all things considered Lewis George oh there the
Intercept it was beautifully picked out McKinley hunt striding through the 22 places it back for greggson Packer Bridger Farris didn’t back herself to go right round the outside steep back in Bridger still Waits on the far Corner big upright Collision there Kelsey Jones into breach CLE looks to try
And Rampage her way forwards there is that penalty Advantage because of the high Collision on breach hella you have intercept becoming penalty Advantage becoming sarens knocking at the door they go over the line Grace Moore not able to get it down or at least that’s how it looks on First Watch
Okay time off I’ve got that hell the P okay so conversation there between the uh two onfield officials held up and then a possible head Collision from yeah we’re just getting the angles Parry well Kelsey Jones just scored a hattick today okay okay yeah go on them we’ve certainly seen the
Good just coming Harry y she might be in a little bit of trouble here breach with the carry It’s definitely upright definitely head on head I think we just play this through full speed for you har yeah yeah thanks so breach okay a little into it wonder whether that’s where they might find some mitigation it’s a slight potential change of angle coming off the right foot stepping back in confir
Come contact I think they are just trying to see where the point of contact is har we’ll just get point of contact for you agree that well we are having a very good look at this was an initial discussion I think from the assistant referee to suggest
There might be a different height but I think the debate is going on that actually tackler has remained relatively upright there is a Bend up the hits from Kelsey Jones let’s see what Harry wbar makes of it I can tell you this one is being debated quite hotly do you want any
Other angles Harry by the assistants no I think we’re happy and our referee we’ got we have got head- onhe head contact okay and we do have Foul Play for two red in the tackle we see two red to the tackle and there is force there so
Unfortunately a red car two red there’s no mitigation there there’s no significant drop from number 15 White so it’s going to be a red card to number two well there we go decision made that by Harry wall bound and Kelsey Jones has gone hatrick hero well now see her team have to see
Out the match with 14 players sh you’re viewing it line yeah it’s really tough isn’t it you can see the disappointment in Kel it K his face there I don’t think any player ever intends to go head on head but it is a head on head collisioni it is upright T
So the referee by the letter of the law you know I I think they spent a lot of time looking at the options exploring the angles looking at body angles and you’ve got to you’ve got to agree with the referee’s decision at the end of the
Day you you know we speak about player welfare and if there is aine a high tackle and head a head Collision they’ve got to operate in the right way and uh yeah tough one for Kelsey Jones she been on fire for for gler but these things happen and it’s uh
Unlucky well it’s a big momentum swing back the way of Saron as they look to try and get this mole towards the line and they are over the line and the try scored briany Fields gets the ball down 13 tries last season for Phil but she’s on the scoreboard today and how critical
Could that one be gluster down to 14 for the rest of the match SAR get their second [Applause] score important moment for SAR again they going to their driving mall again clinical in this area dominant in this area both sides of both sides Gloucester and Saron and you see the patience here
And feeli knowing exactly where that try line is and takes their opportunity tough time now for this glester hary side down to 14 players but I’ve seen this work both ways could Galvanize s SAR it could create opportunities for attack hard for for gloss of harrey but I’ve also seen
Teams go who received the red go to the next level because you’re making up for that player that’s gone off so you know it’s still a long time to play and it’d be interesting to see how both sides react to that red card McDougall never quite had the radar right stted into the Conversion seven-point Game W harrey Who coming into this one had 31 tries on the board scored over the six games that they played Saron who had 55 on the board in the s and theyve played far higher scoring rate they conceded less as well but who cares about all of that we
Got 21 minutes seven points between the sides and as former Wales captain and former gler harrey player shanan lrap says it is going to be now about how each team reacts to that red card super take from the Canadian Farris Ela looking to find a rhythm after that early introduction where the knock
On occurred down the channel again for Singh has George on the inside sing fanes A little nudge of this downfield hervas came thundering across sliced the clearance I think sing was looking for a possible 5022 a serve but well they’ve got themselves a line out just outside the 22 the net result
Will satisfy them nonetheless yeah definitely it was a great take wasn’t it tracking across that 22 there potentially a mark maybe could have been C but coming across Rush the kick didn’t get much gain line oh it’s a beautiful bit of work from GL hary Lewis
Was the dummy jump was that a touch High Advantage now being played hun plays it for Monahan Monahan for Tu patu be looking to respond having just conceded Advantage no player they have the advantage oh it’s out the back knocked backwards from George no Advantage High tackle from
Farris giving away the penalty agre agre what a break from the front of that line out though yeah it was a great great move wasn’t there another one straight straight off the training field obviously an I sar’s line out this week see no opportunity there I think Le was
Shocked of how much space was in front of her exploited the space got deep into the 22 of sar’s okay stay on the goal line World Cup winner in 2014 Natasha hunt wants the quick tap here that’s going to be the option to p lotu with the
Take hunt has to dance around the bodies to get there it’s not the quickest ball in they’re going to get the penalty advantage and it’s Matthews driving to within a meter Georgia Evans on the wrong side Becket won’t get the carry it’s loose again from the cherry and
Whites you want to go quick hunt tying it up again she’s asking questions of the referee as sarson’s give away penalties in this area she’s a wise old head is moh hunt back in the England setup winning that third contract as a scrum half with the red
Roses showing a cool head as Becket carries to two M tootu Saron a player up as Paca tries to get down over it not allowed to play it another bus through the middle but the sar’s defense just holding up enough back hunt almost been swallowed into that breakdown really low one for Tu
Patu to take oh she’s been held up have you ever seen more tries held up in your life in one game unreal effort isn’t it neck how many tries is that held up this game but well done poppy CLE and more there was only one direction cilia
Was going here we see the line of play Beth Lewis getting deep into Harrison’s 22 Good carry from T PLU and again that’s where we see then she P herself up to carry a lot sarens are aware of that I feel like they’re man marking her a bit there’s no Only
One Direction Cecilia’s going and then well held up by the Saron for forwards well what price putting your body on the line in front of Cecilia to Pat po C is not one to stay down and uh she is just getting a bit of attention Grace Moore was in there as well tuy
Patu I was running through those names having had that Lion’s news this week she’ll be 24 come the lions got to be a shoe in when you say it like that you’re like oh my how will she only be 24 in 2017 I feel like she’s been playing for
Years but you know she she is young I believe she still qualifies for Wales under 20s with with her age and how many International cap she had she transitioned to Front Row last year and is dominating improving at scrum time continuously but then what she brings around the park is pretty
Exceptional yeah she was uh in the second row in this fixture last season from now to Otti with those 15 Wales caps to a name in the front row but held up that time gluster harrey coming again Marley Packer asking the question as to who was offside Harry wam able to
Reply and say it was you hunt Miss pass for Tatu who puts it into the hands and sing gets around on the outside Emma sing into the 22 sing to score the try oh what a score [Applause] what they finish by eming Fair Play She identified I didn’t
See who exactly it was but the sarens player in front here and exploited that space But still had a lot of work to do we see a great out the ball year by twoot to sees the mismatch I believe it was osty for SARS looks for the fend and then beats the last
Defender here she goes ah beats Bridger X teammate with her feet well identified by Emma skit Singh and well taken try well no sooner do we finish a conversation about the abilities of Tatu and her carrying and how destructive she is she then shows us the passing offload game which sensing
Through the Gap and that’s how you can be a double or a triple threat absolutely L you’ve just nailed it there Nick you know we’ve seen her three four times on the bounce carrying in that red zone getting over the gain line for gluster hary and then I’m sure gluster
Were expecting another carry for her and then she pulls it out the back to George and that’s triple threat and then the identification of who’s in front and the dog leg slightly in defense being able to exploit that is very skillful sing adds the conversion and it’s a really crucial one pulls
Glester hary out to a 14-point Advantage they get the bonus point and look at that t poot straight back for sing backing herself is that the game that’s a key try Nick you know there’s 15 minutes left of this game gler are down to 14 players it takes
Them you know over two tries ahead which well two tries ahead which is a significant score okay nine available and use it hunt beas just lost her footing actually had a bit of empty Turf in front of her if she have been able to stay on her feet Hannah
Jones just looking to slow things down not out not out good work hacker will deputize at scrum half Alex Matthews putting in the defensive [Applause] hits Evans back from Vias always going backwards in possession of the ball and it’s Beth Blacklock who under pressure has stuck it out on the full
Replacement not now Harrison’s debut in round five against the Tigers having signed from Harley quins okay composure is really key at this point in the game Nick 14 15 minutes left 14 minutes left both teams are in this game it’s about composure territory possession and you know there’s no
Urgency for SAR to score straight away on on the bouns of that there’s plenty of time for them to get back into this game so glester will be pleased with that that era you know they’ve got a line out now roughly halfway and they are ball which relieves pressure from the glester hary
Girls well Kath Richards makes way just looked a little little gingerly on her feet certainly hope that there’s uh not injury coming back to Kath Richard’s door she had two hand fractures that stunted opportunities when she was in the Wales six and scored last year had a Great Britain sevens
Opportunity last summer that didn’t quite come to fruition she’s been really impressing for the lightning in the second year of playing this the Celtic challenge she’s a Wales tou interational as well so obviously I had to remark on Kath Richards as a fellow touch player comes off after her second start but
That’s Georgia rans who’s been receiving some attention be hoping to resume her TR scoring exploits for Wales having knocked one up against France in last year’s women’s Six Nations just still apping a little bit of pressure just to see what georger Evans is able to do with the strapping that’s
There also named this week was uh just England under 18s squad for the Six Nations Festival by James Cooper lost hary players like said Daisy asol Rebecca Jackson Frey McGinley Abigail Pritchard Lucy Simpson Ellie Wilson s had Grace Strickland Isel Vander names for the future no
Doubt now matar just 19 and nearly high at 18 on the bench for glester harre this is the home side bonus Point try secured 14o Advantage they have never beaten sarens when the north londoners have come to visit extraordinary record Lewis there for hunt Monahan under all sorts of
Pressure sar’s defense having to work hard as it just going to open up a little bit to hendy to Patu Monahan George linking nicely and then Lewis that was just a little flung forwards it’s great dlink in Play Now by this Gloster side feel like they’re playing with confidence we seen a tip
Then from Cecilia to PL to see Sam Monahan pulling it out the back Beth Lewis in the wide Channel trying to draw and give space on the edge there for n meta maybe he just holds on to that ball a second too long putting pressure on making that pass within the tackle or
Almost on the tackle is a hard skill set yeah done everything right up until that point in terms of squaring up the defender hasn’t she but was just the execution Probably a week too early for m m from a gler Ary perspective Tatiana herd another one of those who isn’t too far away we understand clap oh managed to just get around yeah escape the clutches of Mata oh a big sit down from Rose Off the Bench for saries that’s
Really nice from beas to find fies Gregson oh it’s loose that time they are not being allowed to find their Rhythm by this gluster harrey defense no they go through a couple of good phases we seen them moving the ball offloading the ball playing that exciting brand of rugby then
Comparison’s physicality as well and then an error happens and they just give him possession back to Gloucester har gluster bring off Beth Lewis Kate Williams coming onto the field and uh can see Scottish International Lou McMillan has just taken a place as we see they’ve lost heartbeat defense
Doing its thing putting the pressure on and Poppy clear with the knock on 65 caps for the red roses CLE he on the bench in that Rugby World Cup final started last year’s women’s Six Nations campaign in from hunt gets it back from Matthews fired away for Singh sing Against
Farris Canadian stays in the fight 14 but Farris is going to be penalized for not managing to get herself out of the tackle situation there is so much going on in a breakdown like that who’s holding who Harry wban decides that one goes to the home side yeah clever play
There by the Skip by m hunt she knew listening to Harry knew she had the advantage knows they’re down to 14 players and just said to the referee we’ll take that you know it’s really hard with 14 players playing in that mid area of the field you see a good carry
By em Singh Farris not rolling away and then Mohan just saying we’ll have the penalty thank you we’ll play in the right areas especially with only 14 girls on the field [Applause] front jumper Brock and away for hunt poy clear in a good position to get
Onto the ball and will earn Saron the penalty that was clean as you like yeah great read by poy there Sarah Beck it isolated gets over the ball wins that race to the breakdown bit of a slice from Blacklock didn’t quite get the meters up the touchdown she might have wanted there
But it’s Bry field TR scorer in this second half Aina gond there as well made a club debut against GLA heartbreak in the cup but that could be coming back on the cherry and white side and when it’s going your way it’s going your way as
Brock gets it on the outside from twoy Patti hunt for George back for Singh sing little hit kick was well Tracked Down by Irish International Grace Mo Brock that was decent from the back rower n Jones is onto the field as well this is heny getting up to the 22 and here is
Jones gallagan Clinging On back to the Irish hooker she will play B row as [Applause] well poy CLE needs to be careful of cynical moments like that in this goes them please she’s had a yellow already she needs to be extra careful if that’s the case Snick you know referee’s clear with his
Instructions to be fair to him letter of the law you’ve got a play by the letter of the law and she’s had one yellow she needs to be squeaky clean now cuz I’m sure she doesn’t want to have a second which converts to a red Saron conceded 13 penalties against
EXA last week they’re already up to that number now with 7 and a half minutes remaining of this match and Harry wolam has warned them okay sorry time is ticking away for the league leaders [Applause] they got maximum points from their previous visits they still need a couple of tries
To be able to get a try bonus on the road at King’s home but it’s glester heartbreak who are the ones in possession and threatening the Saron try line given the call to use Hunt’s going in looking for it away for Becket who’s quietly gotten got on with plenty of
Decent stuff this afternoon Matthews one option Monahan another everyone relase Faris in there toy Patu queuing up as are the likes of buggy and Delgado little pull back inside GL hary trying to do whatever they can to wle their way to the line to palato can she get
There longer one from hunt they had a bit more whip there if they could have got it out but the sarson’s drift defense worked brilliantly and it’s driven cluster hary back here Monahan again chance to reload Dono is a little over the top tuy Patu oh now she’s just
Bowling people out the way vas the latest victim oh but Marley Packer has got straight in there and done a super co- Captain’s Job brilliant responsibility taken thank you back gway who joined from wer and it’s Donna Rose clearance downfield is an absolutely brilliant [Applause] one Dono 18 caps for whales last against Australia in November she spoken bravely about a mental health diagnosis BPD borderline personality disorder believed up to 60,000 people in Wales may suffer
From it is so good when people of Rose’s sort of stature and presence can talk about these things publicly so valuable to people in and around communities say it again hi okay hi for number 18 number three back on she is just going to get a head injury assessment
So on five minutes remain of the match NE Jones cled up the second most tackles against eling Trail finders ball under the arm again M hunt beckons the orders saying keep on keep on it’s broken up a little where’s the ball they want to lose it gallagan looked to try and come
Through hunt did just enough to be able to get it away around her as Becket makes the carry KY George sticks that one up in the air wants to ask a question of Blacklock Monahan putting the shoulder in beas oh and it’s just been lost forwards but gluster hary straying
Offside yeah discipline there Catherine buggy she did roll away but she rolled back into the area in which SAR are trying to attack for disrupted the nin’s delivery but sar’s hungry now they know they need to score soon to be in with the shot in this [Applause] game driving down the touch
Line Brian he Fields through the middle over 50 p es for luck re lightning oh but that’s not come back on the Saron side and gler hary will get the turnover the seconds tip by as a quite historic result gets ever closer it’s been a real team effort Shan
LP from the home side but who stood out for you there’s been many players that have stood out today um for SAR obviously Marley Parker Rosie gallagan has been outstanding but the player of the match for today gluster hary Sam Monahan the way she’s operated the line out the way
She’s impos the physicality the way she can offload and play that ball her multi-dimensional game has really stood out for her physicality and she ran the line out for GL harbury exceptionally well today which ultimately their score line has been determined by their driving moreall so credit to Sam monan welld deserved
Player of the match takes her leave after a decent day at the office as does moh hunt as well and Hannah Jones changes made then Katy mattinson Scotland International Steph Els has come onto the field George’s on looks to just belt that down the middle Farris oh dear oh
Dear well J breach can barely make out contact with Paige Farris after that yeah it’s a series of mistakes Now isn’t it you feel the desperate need from the Saron side they know the time is ticking they know there’s only a few minutes left and when that pressure’s
Added errors happen and uh you seen then the knock on the pass wasn’t the best from the sarens and then knock on ler hary will be happy to be back into sarson’s 22 14 players down remember for the last 25 minutes so there’s only one place this glester harrey want to play their
Game come back for Cy George she won’t mind just sending SAR back towards their try line red on the line we’re inside K from inside the Sison half so no 5022 but Harrison at this stage you think will be thinking about that bus ride home yeah it’s only one way this game is
Going to go now Nick just over a minute left gallagan brings it down SAR get the drive on 60 seconds remain at King the back good that’s one hary put the shoulders to the wheel again to try and negate them as vas plays Bridger at first receiver another little loose one nearly worked
Out vas again Bridger oh Bridger gets nicely on the outside and cutting back in field sing former teammate puts in the tackle slowed it down at least vas then black [Applause] saris continue to play as you would expect exactly the sort of culture and effort that Alex Ury instills in his side gallagan
Twisting and turning as the clock approaches the full 80 breach for gond gluster having to defend but the shed and the voices getting up as they sense this famous win about to be confirmed V will play to the left of sarson’s got one more play to make in this it’s going to
Be the run for Corin gr as she eyes up the corner oh it’s a lovely finish from the Scottish International continuing to play right to the last full respect to sarens but it will just be a third try they won’t take a whole lot from
This game but Ken Grant will take a fine finish for sarson’s third yeah that’s a great finish for Grant you’ve seen Breer with the Miss pass in the white Channel seeing there was space but the finish the grant takes you know that acceleration got on the outside of n
Metov Millie hayatt tries to stop her but she’s got the power to get over the line and a great Try by Grant and I’m sure sarens will be happy happy with that finish and potentially a significant try you know potentially pick up a point from this
Game which in this league the way it’s going could be really significant when it comes to that top four sorry you can’t but someone else can well it’s going to rely on this conversion which is certainly not easy at all but they could take a losing bonus if they can convert
This Blacklock she’s drilled it not to be well Saron have come up short it’s an afternoon that’s all about the cherry and whites all about the circus for glester hary this makes quite the statement Saron have been the bogey team down here since will forever so they
Will cherish this it draws them level on season wins and keeps them unbeaten but it is the first time they’ve beaten sarens at home and what a time to do it in terms of the season a brilliant team performance Shan lra yeah an outstanding team for Mon and
Ultimately defense won them that game that defensive effort first half was exceptional a coach once told me defense will win you the game attacked by how much and I think that was true today great effort by both sides we had an out standing pwr match on our hands top of
The table clash and it didn’t disappoint lost to harbury clinical when they needed to be at set piece driving mall and took their opportunities and galvanized come together during that red card and uh got the win yeah hatrick for Kelsey Jones then and finished by Emma Singh it finishes glester hary 24 SARS
