Why oh why oh why do they always manage to pull it out of the bag?  Wasps do it again.

So - Glos have maintained their unbeaten record in the Premiership, and against the old enemy at that (perhaps the one match that secretly we all worried we would lose). Glos 27 Wasps 21. What’s particularly heartening is Dean Ryan’s comments about Anthony Allen:

…the conversations we had with England were that if they were going to pick him they had to stick with him and they haven’t…

The appalling performance of England over these last few weeks wasn’t made any better by today’s extremely scrappy and very fortunate win over South Africa. Robinson has to go, and the Gloucester boys (Richards, Forrester, Hazel, Allen, Vickery, Balshaw and so on) have made a very good fist of being stuck in a messed up dressing room that Rob Andrew has to sort ASAFP. Anthony Allen shouldn’t worry about being dropped - there’s a change a-coming, and it’s not going to kill his career, but it should stop a few others.
