For the first time this season, Gloucester secured back to back wins in the PREM after a hard fought victory over Sale Sharks at Kingsholm. We chat through the game, the reffing and whether we may have been too harsh (probably, but it was definitely a knock on before the George Ford drop-goal). Are there possibly some embryonic signs of improvement for next season?Meanwhile, Glos-Hartpury continue their preparation for next season with multiple re-signings (and a departure) announced. We look ahead to the final weekend of the W6N and the last few games of the PWR campaign.Finally, while Ealing will be preparing for their CHAMP playoffs and potentially a move to the URC, we discuss Cornish Pirates new investment from across the pond and what that might mean for Gloucester.

A very busy pod as we finally get around to reviewing Gloucester's excellent win over Exeter Chiefs (Sorry, Ed decided to watch football last week). We run through what made the difference from previous matches as well as the controversy from Slade's try and also this weekend's Champions Cup Semi Final where the French TV Director's once again took centre stage.Meanwhile Bristol Bears CEO decided that Rugby was not the main reason he goes to work every day and Glos Hartpury get even more injuries to add the growing list.Finally successful fund raises for not only Gloucester, but also our very own Marathon Man...Ed PriceJim HarleyLawrence LandrayRuss BrookesCherry Jam is proud to be sponsored by PGT LLP

After another couple of weeks without a game, Gloucester returned to PREM action away to Bristol - but unfortunately it was much of the same as they ended up on the wrong side of another record defeat. We chat through the game, the disappointment with the overall manner of the performance as well as the lack of positives. We discuss why the answer given by George Skivington on the question of why the team consistently has poor starts to games, is indicative of the wider issues within the coaching set-up and playing group.Meanwhile we unpick whether the arrival of Brett Deacon and Joel Tomkins (only rumoured as we recorded on Sunday evening) would give us some hope for next year.Finally we talk through the Red Roses emphatic win over Scotland in the W6N.Ed PriceRuss BrookesJim HarleyCherry Jam is proud to be sponsored by PGT LLP

Although Gloucester have had no rugby over the past few weeks but there is still plenty to chat about. As the Red Roses started their Six Nations campaign with a scratchy win, there were a number of serious injury concerns for three of the Glos-Hartpury contingent. Meanwhile the Quarter Final round of the European club competitions saw some incredible games including an amazing all English clash won by Bath (we know!). Finally, we look ahead to Gloucester's away game at Bristol before reminiscing about a famous win 30 years ago.Ed PriceJim HarleyCherry Jam is proud to be sponsored by PGT LLP
