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 presence plus the recent rumours around potential talks of a merger between the URC and the Premiership.
