Series 6 - Episode 27: Gloucester thrash Bristol with an incredible performance; Financial concerns remain; A Middle East Rugby World Cup?

A sell-out crowd saw one of the most complete performances from a Gloucester side in recent memory. Unlike some of the more impressive results that we have seen in the George Skivington era (64-0 versus Bath or the hammerings given to Sarries or Newcastle) this was against the 2nd place team in the league who had just come off the back of an 8 try demolition of Chiefs. We dissect the tries, the performances, the strategy and simply how much fun it was to watch!

Unfortunately the good news didn't carry over to the balance sheets as Gloucester posted a near £3m loss. Loz uses his Accountancy acumen to run through the specific reasons as we try to understand what English Rugby needs to sort out the financial chaos.

Finally we chat though the rumours of a joint bid to host the World Cup from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE and why it is a terrible idea that is likely to happen.
