Gloucester–Hartpury

Let's see what Nell Metcalf or Amy Williams can do at goal kicking because they are both goal kickers.

Nell Metcalf has been goal kicker for Gwalior when she used to play for Gwalior and she's been a goal kicker for Gloucester Hartbury a few times.

Amy Williams, former Cardiff City player.

player and she's goal kicked for Brithon a few times as well so there's options there already within that 15 so it's good to see that otherwise I think the main takeaway which we still We still tried it.

Um, just to have an overview of how he runs his ship.

Obviously very successful with Gloucester-Hartpury, and then coming in and obviously that transition of, uh, rebuilding, I suppose, with a lot of young, new-

Yeah

... new talent coming through, isn't it?

Um, also, uh, some quite worrying, uh, trends in terms of crowd sizes at Exeter and actually at Leicester.

Um, and then finally, also talking about the, um, the Gloucester-Hartpury opening game of the season on Sunday.

Um, and then obviously looking forward to Bordeaux on Friday night.

So, let's start off, though, with just the breaking news this afternoon, which was that Jack Singleton signed for Glasgow.

It's difficult enough to, to win games of rugby in France, and, you know, if you've got the, if you've got the tear gas in the air like they've done again in the last, this last couple of weeks, um, it's probably even more challenging.

So, uh, yeah, we'll see.

Um, with, um, with the other start of this season is gonna be, uh, Gloucester-Hartpury's first home game of the season in the PWR Cup, the JAQU Cup, uh, against Ealing, isn't it? Um, y- just a couple of things to highlight on that, really.

First of all, new signing, um, a prop, uh, from Australia, uh-

Although sh- I, uh, hope, wish her every success in Exeter Chiefs.

And there's other players, maybe Alou Pearce, who's signed obviously for Gloucester-Hartpury, but we'll see whether she gets games and is back playing.

And then there's a whole heap of talent, and a whole heap of talent in the under 21s squad who will want to go somewhere, if that's the right term.

It will be interesting to see what kind of balance we get.

PWR comes with a whole, it's gonna come with a whole load of extra things to promote, so from a, a marketing point of view it's gonna be a big one.

But yeah, it-

But it does have quite a lot of Gloucester-Hartpury fans and things like that coming over to see.

It's why there should be an Anglo Welsh.

Come on, Mum, sort it out.

We need some Gloucester, Gloucester-Hartpury stash going up there, um, to make sure baby name unknown is dressed more appropriately.

Yeah.

Um, but you know, I think, I think it's, it's lovely.

You know, congratulations.

Happy news.

And that's, and that's about all we're gonna say about Gloucester-Hartpury this week after-

[laughs]

I don't think they would beat Saracens.

Um, I don't think they'd necessarily beat, you know, a three-peat Gloucester-Hartpury team.

Gloucester.

Um, would they absolutely destroy Leicester Tigers?
