There was a genuine if not tempered sense of optimism ahead of Gloucester's first league game of the season. But a youthful Saracens side were far too savvy and clinical leaving the Cherry and Whites with only a try bonus point. We chat through our thoughts on the game, what went wrong, what might be the easy fixes and whether the optimism we all had was simply misplaced on this occasion or wildly delusional. We also discuss why Jim's ears are bleeding in The Shed and why we all think we...

Gloucester lost out in the last pre-season game up in Edinburgh but all indications are the team and management are happy with the progress and performance. We chat through where we see the first block of fixtures going, the potential of a 'surprise' win over Saracens this weekend and the danger for George Skivington if things don't go well. We also discuss the Red Roses impressive win over the Black Ferns at Twickenham, the joys of South African rugby supporters and their social media...

We then chat through the rumours and news around Gloucester - including some of the little frustrations we have had in the last couple of weeks, the Challenge Cup and Prem Cup opponents.

The eggs were all in one basket, but they were left scrambled by the Sharks at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. We chat through Gloucester's defeat in the Challenge Cup Final, where we think it went wrong and our experiences of the day and the final. The lads also discuss Toulouse winning their sixth Champions Cup in one of the all time great finals, as Dupont and Willis hit new heights in performance. Finally we review Gloucester-Hartpury's first league defeat of the season and see the positives...

Following an awful league campaign, Gloucester signed off at Kingsholm with a win over Newcastle Falcons.

A chat with Lewis Ludlow about this season, the difficulties and challenges, his average week, how he deals with defeat and victory and whether he could secure Taylor Swift tickets. Ed Price Jim Harley Lewis Ludlow

Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse... A record all-time defeat for Gloucester, losing 90 points to nil away to Northampton Saints. There have been plenty of excuses trotted out to account for the dreadful league form and in particular this most embarrassing defeat. We discuss them and try to work out if any are 'legitimate'. We also chat through the new laws that are coming into force next season and whether they will improve the game as desired. Ed Price James Eastwood...

Gloucester Rugby are heading to Tottenham after beating Benetton Treviso in the European Challenge Cup Semi-Final. We discuss the vast improvement on the previous week and the key performances, before running through our opponents in the Final - Sharks after their comeback win over Clermont. We also chat about the Champions Cup Semi finals before pondering whether Stuart Barnes' Times article was too harsh or simply echoes our thoughts...we're scared too kids! Ed Price Russ Brookes

Firstly an apology as we have decided to leave a lot more of the swearing in this weeks pod, but we are sure you understand why. Gloucester lose another league game, this time to Exeter Chiefs, but it was the manner of the defeat and the apparent contempt shown to the Season ticket holders that grates most. Four very angry Cherry Jammers discuss the match, the atmosphere at Kingsholm, where this leaves George Skivington and whether a defeat to Benetton would spell the end of his now 91...

Back to the league again and another defeat - this time expected as a young and much changed Gloucester side lost away to Saracens. However a plucky final 10 minutes took advantage of some sloppy Sarries play and secured a Try bonus point. We chat through the game, whether the squad selection was the correct one is probably still to be decided, but we do have a discussion on the rights and wrongs of picking that many inexperienced players. We also discuss the latest Red Roses win, a...

Gloucester's incredible run in knock out competitions continues with a Quarter Final win over Ospreys. It means a Semi Final against Benetton Treviso in early May. We chat through the game and how the club might need to prioritise the Cup at the expense of the remaining league games. We also round-up the whole weekend of European fixtures, including Quins incredible win over Bordeaux. Ed gives his review of his experience at the Aviva and before we also remember two famous matches that were...

After a week off, we are back to review the whole weekend of European Rugby as Gloucester reach the Quarter Finals of the Challenge Cup following a hard fought win over Castres at Kingsholm. We also chat through the previous weeks league defeat to Bristol, before discussing all the games and the Quarter Final prospects in both European competitions. Finally find out why we have been trolled and blocked on Twitter by The Times and Sunday Times Chief Rugby writer! Ed Price Jim Harley

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Ruby Cole, a young Gloucester supporter who tragically passed away last week. All our thoughts are with Jo and Neville at this difficult time, as well as all of Ruby's family and friends.

After 9 long years, Gloucester once again win some silverware after beating Leicester in the Premiership Cup Final at a raucous Kingsholm. We chat through the game, the performances that made a difference, the atmosphere and even the music. We also discuss the final weekend of Six Nations action, including a review of another encouraging England performance - all be it, in a narrow and controversial defeat away to France. Ed Price Jim Harley Russ Brookes

After five long years of generally seeing England put in average performances (all be it, with some good results) finally a performance to be proud of as the men in white ruined Ireland's Grand Slam dreams. The lads chat through all the Six Nations action, including Italy's deserved win over Scotland and a resurgent French side hammering Wales. Meanwhile we also chat through Gloucester-Hartpury securing a home semi final with yet another win, this time over former Champions Harlequins....

A massive thank you to everyone who sent in some questions over the past week. We have decided to focus on the quick fire ones this time round as we want to make sure we have a full house for the more 'in-depth' questions. Gloucester Hartpury continued their unbeaten run in the league, making it 12 from 12 - Jim gives us the lowdown on the game and the key performances. We also chat through the recent rumours surrounding potential incomings, plus the sad announcement by Jake Polledri that...

A hard fought win for Gloucester over defending Champions Exeter means the Cherry and Whites have reached their first Final since 2018 - a win for Leicester away to Ealing, means that Kingsholm will be the venue.

The lads also chat through the England A squad announcement, the u18's Finals Day, rumours and important re-signings plus Glos-Hartpury making it 10 out of 10 in the league to...

Another superb comeback for Gloucester Hartpury as they overturn a large second half deficit to beat local rivals Bristol. Jim takes us through the game and the importance of keeping this unbeaten run going. Elsewhere, in the Six Nations, England managed to sneak a win over a young Wales side, Ireland eased passed a disappointing Italy while Scotland were robbed of a last second win over a disjointed France by a very controversial TMO decision. The main part of the pod though this week is...

Just when we thought we would be having a relatively quiet few weeks discussing the Six Nations and the Glos-Hartpury women's fixtures, news broke of potential Saudi investment into Gloucester and three other Premiership clubs. The guys give their honest opinions on the issue, before chatting through Gloucester-Hartpury's incredible comeback win over Leicester Tigers Women, the Six Nations week one results and why we were definitely robbed at the Sports Podcast Awards. Finally our deepest...
