Gloucester, who the Sharks play in the EPCR final at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium the night before Leinster and Toulouse battle it out to be crowned the kings of Europe, were hammered 90-0 by Northampton Saints in their Gallagher Premiership fixture, conceding no less than 14 tries in the process.
However, as you’d expect, the margin of defeat has invoked the ire of the Gloucester supporters and media and there can be no denying that the club has suffered a massive dent to pride. Which of course is all that the Sharks sustained too in their narrow 25-24 defeat to Benetton, where they lost to the Jacob Umaga conversion of his own try three minutes from time.
“That was the frustrating thing about tonight; obviously I would’ve liked to have had no injuries, won the game and everything fell into place, but it was pretty much the total opposite. Etzebeth ran off with an HIA and the word I got from the doctors was that he failed that, but what he is complaining about now is his neck. He’s heading off to the physio room as we speak to get that treated. He had no headaches so I don’t think he’s going to be too bad.
