Back to the league again and another defeat - this time expected as a young and much changed Gloucester side lost away to Saracens. However a plucky final 10 minutes took advantage of some sloppy Sarries play and secured a Try bonus point.

We chat through the game, whether the squad selection was the correct one is probably still to be decided, but we do have a discussion on the rights and wrongs of picking that many inexperienced players.

We also discuss the latest Red Roses win, a thrashing of Ireland at Twickenham - but ponder if the lack of any real opposition is going to harm the development of the women's game.
