Points + Willie Walker looks better at full
back.
Minus Marks - Rory Lawson must quickly learn how
to pass.
After
last week's poor showing at Kingsholm, in many ways it was more of the same
at Stradey,
This week there was the added disappointment of a catalogue of injuries to contend
with.
Jack Adams pulled out before kick-off. Haydn Thomas lasted only a few minutes
before he was replaced. Sinbad also departed with another shoulder injury, Anthony
Allen left before half-time and a groggy Mefin Davies also suffered.
Not withstanding the injuries, Glos. again did not play well.
The basics were not well executed with poor passing and ball retention throughout.
Llanelli scored two breakaway first-half tries and
although Gloucester confined the home side to their own territory after the
break, they rarely looked like scoring and never looked like winning.
