    Series 7 - Episode 14: Better performance despite another defeat; New Signings and European Cup expectations

    Despite another defeat for the Cherry and Whites, we saw a spirited display and a well earned losing bonus point as Gloucester lost away to Edinburgh in the Champions Cup. Meanwhile, positive transfer news and rumours as South African World Cup winner Jean Kleyn has been announced as our latest signing. We discuss the Edinburgh match, the performance, the positives and look forward to this weeks crunch fixture against Toulon. Ed Price Jim Harley Cherry Jam is proud to be sponsored by PGT LLP

    Series 7 - Episode 13: Christmas and New Year misery as Gloucester lose to Sarries and Newcastle

    Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse, Gloucester began 2026 with a defeat away to Newcastle (following a tepid display at home to Saracens over Christmas). The full gang get together to discuss a new low for the club in the Professional era. ***WARNING*** - It does get a bit sweary in places (understandably so). If you are travelling with small children or those who are easily offended, it might be worth exercising discretion.

    Series 7 - Episode 12: A new nadir for Gloucester as they are thumped away to Leicester in the Slater Cup; Glos-Hartpury break new records; Three signings announced ofr the 26/27 season

    We have got used to poor displays and bad results over the past few years, but this one sticks out as one of the most disappointing. A dreadful performance away to Leicester in the Slater Cup saw Gloucester comprehensively beaten. The same old excuses trotted out once again and compounded by more injuries. The response online and among supporters has become almost resigned apathy, we do our best to run through the game and how we feel about the whole situation. Meanwhile the Glos-Hartpury girls continue to be a shining beacon of hope as they continue to break records with their 18th consecutive league victory. Finally, we do look ahead with hope and positivity after Gloucester announced the signings of Dewi Lake, Jac Morgan and Dan Robson. Ed Price Russ Brookes We are proud to be sponsored by PGT LLP. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

    Series 7 - Episode 11: Gloucester win their opening Champions Cup match with a shambolic lineout; Glos-Hartpury continue their unbeaten start, but with a scare; Munster/Cork preview; World Cup 2027

    Overall a really pleasing weekend for both Gloucester and Glos-Hartpury as they secured wins against difficult opposition. But the Bonus point victories were not as straightforward as they should have been. The Women struggled to put away an entertaining Ealing side, while the Men managed to secure 5 points despite having a shambolic lineout (Helped to a significant degree by Castres dreadful discipline). We chat through both games and do see the overwhelming positives especially considering the mis-firing set piece but do have serious concerns ahead of this weekends match in Cork against Munster. Jim and Ed also discuss the Rugby World Cup draw and the opportunities available for some of the Tier 2/3 nations to spring a surprise on the likes of Fiji, Italy and Wales.

    Series 7 - Episode 10: Finally a league win for Gloucester; Glos-Hartpury maintain their perfect start; Red cards galore and R360 delayed

    Finally, Gloucester secured their first league win of the season as they beat an underwhelming Quins side with a Bonus point try. We chat through the performances that stood out including excellent contributions from Lewis Ludlow, Ollie Thorley and Ben Redshaw. We also discuss Glos-Hartpury's perfect start to the season, this time after a thumping 50 point hammering of local rivals Bristol Bears. Meanwhile, the much vaunted and talked about R360 tournament has been delayed until at least 2028 - is there any real chance of it getting off the ground (we all hope not!). There were also red cards galore last weekend with seemingly a race for the biggest act of thuggery - don't worry Eben Etzebeth wins that one.

    A packed week and it took two attempts to record. Jim and Ed discuss the win for Gloucester over Bath in the PREM Cup as well as Gloucester-Hartpury maintaining their 100% winning start in the PWR. Rumours galore at Gloucester as news leaked around potential DoR interviews, John Mitchell 'helping' the coaches in an unpaid non consultant role.

    Series 7 - Episode 8: Gloucester's young guns secure a rare win at Sale; England beat the Aussies; Red Card controversy in Chicago; Glos-Hartpury win away and Ed's Rugby League adventure

    A much more docile pod this week as we run through a well deserved and creditable win for the Gloucester young guns away at Sale in the Prem Cup, England beating Australia in an impressive and controlled performance and Glos-Hartpury securing a comfortable win over Exeter Chiefs. Meanwhile more Head contact/Red card controversy as Ireland were on the wrong end of a decision in Chicago. Finally Ed went to watch t'other code as he saw a bit of a snooze fest in the second Rugby League ashes test - but wondered if there are lessons to take for England and Rugby Union.

    Series 7 - Episode 7: Deja Vu all over again. Two more defeats for Gloucester and five consecutive in the league extending the clubs worst evert start to a season. Glos-Hartpury hammer Sarries .

    Apologies upfront for this pod. Very cathartic, but also self indulgent and ranty. After five consecutive league defeats to start the PREM season (the worst start to a season in the Clubs history), rather than chat through the positives and the two defeats to Bristol and Exeter, we have decided to lay out our frustrations with the current coaching set-up and call for their removal. After 5 years at the helm, George Skivington has presided over the worst Win/Loss ratio of any DoR/Head Coach in the Professional Era; our worst league position (three times); failed to reach the playoffs - the only coach and club other than Newcastle to fail to do so while he has been at the club. We have seen the worst consecutive run of defeats, our worst Points Against tally, the biggest defeats to Bath, Bristol, Northampton and the overall record defeat by any club in the PREM. From our point of view (a view increasingly shared by many other supporters) both George Skivington and Dominic Waldouck's time at the club needs to end. We discuss the alternative names, as requested by several listeners, plus the excuses and reasons why others are still sticking by the Management. Happily we have a nice palate cleanser to end the pod this week as we do review the fantastic opening day bonus point win for Glos-Hartpury against a much fancied Saracens Women.
