The Premiership is back with a bang as Gloucs seized a dramatic 29-28 against Quins in the opener at Kinghsolm.
Anyone who left early missed the drama. Quins were leading 28-24 and celebrated when Luke Northmore broke clear to touchdown. However, the TMO spotted that replacement fly-half Jarrod Evans had put in a high tackle in the build up and it was ruled out.

Evans was off to the bin and Gloucs kicked the penalty to the corner. Quins defended the catch and drive desperately but they couldn't stop Jamal Ford-Robinson from going over to claim that one point win - much to the delight and relief of the Kingsholm faithful.
It had been nip and tuck all game. Alex Dombrandt got Quins going after just two minutes only for Arthur Clark to force his way over for a try on his debut. Then George McGuigan folowed suit with George Barton again adding the extras.
A driving maul was finished by Quins' Will Evans then Barton scored a pen before Luke Northmore outwitted a couple of defenders to give his side that half-time lead.
However, Gloucs were back in front as Lewis Ludlow celebrated his 200th game went over after Ollie Thorley had made break. Quins kept themslves ahed with three pens from Jarrod Evans before that exciting finale saw him exit the pitch.
Phew.
