Quote: Gloucester and London Irish go toe to toe in the European Challenge Cup final this weekend.
This is the third time these sides have met this season – and so far London Irish have the upper hand, completing the double in the Guinness Premiership. They have met once before in this competition more... Still amazed it's taking place at the Stoop Memorial/Twickenham. Capacity of under 13,000 - rubbish for a European [UEFA equivalent] final, though I have absolutely no idea what it's about. Even some of my egg-chasing mates don't understand the rules and Rugby fans only know two chant (repeating 'Glawster' endlessly and sommat else about swinging chariots). Still, c'mon Glawster! |

Quote: Gloucester clinched a pulsating European Challenge Cup final with an extra-time victory over London Irish at the Twickenham Stoop on Sunday.
James Forrester's 91st-minute try took Gloucester back in front more... BBC Sport Well done Glawster! Sounds like it was an amazing game. Shame so few people were able to watch it live, they're absolutely bonkers about egg-chasing round here. And cheese rolling |

Yeah, so confident was I of Irish winning I backed them with a tenner! Gloucester always seem to get to finals but end up losing and Irish have beaten them twice in the league this year. |
