Harlequins 32-26 GloucesterVisitors rally late but Quins make Twickenham advantage count
On such a miserable losing run, the last thing Gloucester needed was a trip to Twickenham to face a Harlequins side intent on putting on a show. It was not flawless from Quins but true to form andamid the pyrotechnics and party atmosphere, they put Gloucester to the sword.
Nick David scored two of their five tries while Danny Care, Marcus Smith and Alex Dombrandt all showed up well – as they tend to on these occasions – with injuries to Joe Marler and Dino Lamb the only cause for concern with the Six Nations looming. For Gloucester it was a club record-equalling eighth straight defeat in the league and though they rallied late on it is already a desperate campaign for the Cherry & Whites, propped up only by Newcastle who remain without a win this season.
