Cherry Jam - A Gloucester Rugby Supporter Podcast

The final pod of the season and a big thank you for sticking with us!

A great one to finish on as Gloucester-Hartpury win their second consecutive PWR title, beating Bristol Bears in an exciting encounter down at Sandy Park. We discuss the day, the game and the after party!

We also chat about the failure of GB Sevens men to reach the Olympic games in Paris and England's impressive win over Japan in Tokyo.

The eggs were all in one basket, but they were left scrambled by the Sharks at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. We chat through Gloucester's defeat in the Challenge Cup Final, where we think it went wrong and our experiences of the day and the final.

The lads also discuss Toulouse winning their sixth Champions Cup in one of the all time great finals, as Dupont and Willis hit new heights in performance.

Finally we review Gloucester-Hartpury's first league defeat of the season and see the positives and why this might be the best thing to happen.

A chat with Lewis Ludlow about this season, the difficulties and challenges, his average week, how he deals with defeat and victory and whether he could secure Taylor Swift tickets.

Gloucester Rugby are heading to Tottenham after beating Benetton Treviso in the European Challenge Cup Semi-Final. We discuss the vast improvement on the previous week and the key performances, before running through our opponents in the Final - Sharks after their comeback win over Clermont.

We also chat about the Champions Cup Semi finals before pondering whether Stuart Barnes' Times article was too harsh or simply echoes our thoughts...we're scared too kids!

Firstly an apology as we have decided to leave a lot more of the swearing in this weeks pod, but we are sure you understand why.

Gloucester lose another league game, this time to Exeter Chiefs, but it was the manner of the defeat and the apparent contempt shown to the Season ticket holders that grates most. Four very angry Cherry Jammers discuss the match, the atmosphere at Kingsholm, where this leaves George Skivington and whether a defeat to Benetton would spell the end of his now 91 league game tenure.

We also try to lighten the mood by chatting through a great win for Glos-Hartpury in the 3rd/4th playoff of the Allianz Cup; another Grand-Slam for the Red Roses and what Billy Vunipola gets up to on a night out in Majorca.

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.
