Time To Finish With A Flourish
By Cheery Cherry
May 2 2014
The enigmatic Freddie Burns and a host of other players say goodbye to Kingsholm as Irish provide the last home opposition of the season. Let's hope the occasion produces a win ..
It has been an up and down season to say the least, and the number of players coming in during the summer is reflection of an unsatisfactory 2013-14 campaign.
But its not over yet and Irish provide their usual attractive opposition and arrive on the back of some decent results.
We have a mathematical chance of getting the seventh European play-off place but I wouldn't be putting any money on it.
The backs will be unchanged this but there are chnages in the pack with Yann Thomas and Sila Puafisi in the front row and lock Will James saying goodbye.
