Series 5 - Episode 32: Gloucester Beat Benetton Treviso To Reach Their 5th European Final; Semi-Final Weekend Review And Stuart Barnes' Times Article Cherry Jam

1:05:55

A sell-out crowd saw one of the most complete performances from a Gloucester side in recent memory. Unlike some of the more impressive results that we have seen in the George Skivington era (64-0 versus Bath or the hammerings given to Sarries or Newcastle) this was against the 2nd place team in the league who had just come off the back of an 8 try demolition of Chiefs. We dissect the tries, the performances, the strategy and simply how much fun it was to watch! Unfortunately the good news didn't carry over to the balance sheets as Gloucester posted a near £3m loss. Loz uses his Accountancy acumen to run through the specific reasons as we try to understand what English Rugby needs to sort out the financial chaos. Finally we chat though the rumours of a joint bid to host the World Cup from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE and why it is a terrible idea that is likely to happen.

Back to Premiership action last week for Gloucester and despite a combative performance in which the Cherry and Whites secured a try bonus point in the first half, Glaws were unable to stamp their authority on the second forty as Bath ran out comfortable and deserved winners in the West Country derby. The lads chat through the game, the performances and the key points of difference plus where we see the positives for the remainder of the season. We also discuss the rumours around the new kit supplier, the upcoming trial for Away supporter areas in the ground (and whether it will make any difference) and a preview of the Bristol game this Saturday. Finally we do also touch on the first weekend of the Women's Six Nations. Ed Price James Eastwood (Snowy) Lawrence Landray Russ Brookes Cherry Jam is proud to be sponsored by PGT LLP…

A great weekend of Rugby saw England record their biggest ever win over Wales in Cardiff, while Gloucester-Hartpury made their own history completing the Three-peat of PWR titles as they beat Saracens in their own backyard. We discuss both games, the achievements of Glos-Hartpury and where this leaves England and English players ahead of the Lions tour. Finally we chat about the lack of Promotion and Relegation (again); a league wide loan to keep Newcastle Falcons afloat and Bill Sweeney threatening to take his rugby ball and move to Milton Keynes, because he missed out on Beyonce!

With a very young and inexperienced Gloucester side narrowly losing away to Newcastle in the Premiership Cup (and so far, no highlights seem to be available), our attentions this week were focused on Glos-Hartpury and their bid for a third consecutive PRW Final appearance. After a slow start, the girls once again delivered with a fine performance and comfortable victory against Bristol Bears. We chat through the game, the standout players and why all of you lovely pod listeners should try and get down to the Stone X a week Sunday! We also discuss the impact of Ilona Maher on the PWR and whether her slightly unimpressive performances on the pitch actually matter in the grand scheme of things. Meanwhile in the world of Rugby League, a bit of razzamatazz over in Vegas got us wondering if something similar would work in Union? Would we want Gloucester involved? Finally another week, another dummy spat out by Championship sides, this time over unequal rights in the Premiership Cup. Do they have a point, or are their moans starting to become tiresome?

Gloucester played Hartpury in their final Premiership Cup home game and it was a bit of a stinker. A 7-7 draw with very little quality or entertainment, Jim and Ed give their very short reviews of the game and where we can find any positives. In the Six Nations, England snatched an improbable victory over a misfiring French side; Scotland once again crumbled in the face of a dominant Ireland and Wales' misery continues to a 14th straight defeat as Italy win back to back games in Rome.

Gloucester regained the Slater Cup after a thrilling comeback win over Leicester at Kingsholm. It leaves the Cherry and Whites in 3rd place as the Premiership breaks for the Six Nations. We chat through the game, the key moments and the performances by so many players across the squad. Once again Santi was awarded Player of the Match by TNT and his future continues to be in doubt as there are strong rumours he may depart for Bath at the end of the season. The lads weigh up that and all the other transfer news and rumours including the confirmed re-signings before checking in on Glos-Hartpury's weekend - which couldn't have gone much better (Despite not playing).

As we return for our final pod of 2024, we unfortunately saw Gloucester fail to back up the previously good wins over Northampton and Quins, this time losing to previously winless Exeter away at Sandy Park. More of a concern is the growing injury list with confirmation that Zach Mercer, Ollie Thorley and potentially Afo Fasogbon are all out for the rest of the season. We chat through the game, the positives including another superb individual performance by Lewis Ludlow and discuss whether the injuries are going to once again limit what we can expect from the rest of the season. Finally, a bit of added nonsense as we run through the weird and wonderful Pokemon and Gloucestershire versions of Monopoly.
