Match Commentary

81'17-18 End of half
81'17-18 End of half
81'17-18 End of second half
80'And because of the red card, Bath get a penalty at the re-start and it's a line-out. No hurry to take it ... by the time they do it's 36 seconds past the 80, Bath win it, boot to touch and that's that
80'17-18 Conversion - George Ford , Bath Rugby
79'Ford slots the kick almost five minutes after the try! 11-man Gloucester have 66 seconds left to try for the score to win it. Nothing ruled out after the last half hour
79'Red card - Tavis Knoyle , Gloucester Rugby
79'17-16 Penalty try
78'Bath pile to the line and ... it's a penalty try as Gloucester break things down deliberately. Brave decision but the right one. And a massive punch-up breaks out ... and it's another red! Tavis Knoyle rightly sent off for throwing two haymakers which started the whole thing. general melee after that and the right decision that what followed was 'acceptable' reaction
77'Frantic play, both sides going for it and Bath get a penalty in front of the posts. Dave Attwood back on so it's 15 v 12 for the last 3 minutes. Ford goes for the corner, they want the try
76'Anthony Perenise bundled into touch as he goes for the line ... it took three defenders. Jonny May left flat on his back as a result, he made the first tackle but got cleaned out in the process
76'Yellow card - Huia Edmonds , Gloucester Rugby
75'Um, make that 12 v 14. Another yellow for Huia Edmonds piling through. The crowd are baying for blood - the referee's
75'Yellow card - Mike Tindall , Gloucester Rugby
74'Vital last-ditch tackle from Jonny May saves Gloucester, he then kills the ball but bizarrely it's Mike Tindall who is yellow carded. 13 v 14 now.
74'Player substituted - Horacio Agulla , Bath Rugby
74'Substitute on - Anthony Watson , Bath Rugby
73'Substitute on - Gavin Henson , Bath Rugby
73'Player substituted - Kyle Eastmond , Bath Rugby
72'Substitute on - Freddie Burns , Gloucester Rugby
72'Player substituted - Henry Trinder , Gloucester Rugby
71'Crucially the kick misses, leaving Bath within a score still, Twelvetrees completely miskicked that and it went well right. Groans all round
71'17-11 Try - Henry Trinder , Gloucester Rugby
70'Slightly controversial turnover, Henry Trinder is at the end of the overlap - well, second from the end as he cuts inside - and that's the first try of the afternoon and that could be the game
69'Player substituted - Nathan Catt , Bath Rugby
69'Substitute on - Dominic Day , Bath Rugby
69'Substitute on - Guy Mercer , Bath Rugby
69'Player substituted - Carl Fearns , Bath Rugby
68'12-11 Penalty goal - Billy Twelvetrees , Gloucester Rugby
67'Billy Twelvetrees slots a kick from midway in the Bath half and against the odds on the recent balance of play, Gloucester lead
67'Yellow card - Dave Attwood , Bath Rugby
66'Dave Attwood yellow carded - Bath's third of the day - for not releasing. So it's 14-men all. This may inspire Gloucester to lift their game.
66'Player substituted - Martyn Thomas , Gloucester Rugby
66'Substitute on - Rob Cook , Gloucester Rugby
66'Player substituted - Jimmy Cowan , Gloucester Rugby
66'Substitute on - Tavis Knoyle , Gloucester Rugby
63'Sloppy from Twelvetrees within 5m of his line, tries an offload that was never on, but they escape as the ref rules a deliberate knock-on
63'Player substituted - Will James , Gloucester Rugby
63'Substitute on - James Hudson , Gloucester Rugby
58'Now we have uncontested scrums ... a bit embarrassing. Dan Murphy comes on for Nick Wood to make it all a bit more silly. The laws were changed to allow more substitutes so we did not get this farce in matches
58'Player substituted - Nick Wood , Gloucester Rugby
58'Substitute on - Dan Murphy , Gloucester Rugby
55'Ford's kick drifts wide again, a muted jeer from the crowd, no more. They need to get behind their side now more than ever
55'9-11 Try - Stuart Hooper , Bath Rugby
54'Stuart Hooper bundles over for the try, Gloucester unable to stop the drive. What a difference two or three minutes make. The crowd is quiet, the team appears stunned
53'Bath pound the Gloucester line, the defence just about hold the line but they look rattled. Bath still get the penalty for the original lineout offence
53'Substitute on - Nathan Catt , Bath Rugby
53'Player substituted - Paul James , Bath Rugby
53'Player substituted - David Wilson , Bath Rugby
53'Substitute on - Anthony Perenise , Bath Rugby
53'Substitute on - Peter Stringer , Bath Rugby
53'Player substituted - Michael Young , Bath Rugby
53'Red card - Sila Puafisi , Gloucester Rugby
52'
Horrible high tackle, horrible. Sila Puafisi knows it's a card, the colour is all that is in doubt. Replay looks even worse, as they often do. Arm out into the neck and it's a red card
51'Better start to the half from Bath, the crowd slightly quieter, but we and they need a moment of magic to lighten this up
50'And Bath back to 15 men again ... they weathered that storm without conceding a point
46'Bath earn another penalty. It looked like a good turnover from Gloucester but there you go
46'Substitute on - Sila Puafisi , Gloucester Rugby
46'Player substituted - Shaun Knight , Gloucester Rugby
46'Player substituted - Daniel George , Gloucester Rugby
46'Substitute on - Huia Edmonds , Gloucester Rugby
44'Ford's penalty drifts wide in the strong wind
41'Player substituted - Gareth Evans , Gloucester Rugby
41'Player substituted - Freddie Burns , Gloucester Rugby
41'Substitute on - Mike Tindall , Gloucester Rugby
41'Substitute on - Ben Morgan , Gloucester Rugby
41'9-6 End of first half
40'
40'9-6 Start of second half
40'Yellow card - Matt Garvey , Bath Rugby
39'Matt Garvey sees yellow for an apparent high tackle, that looks harsh and you suspect the baying crowd had some input into that decision
39'Player substituted - Mike Tindall , Gloucester Rugby
39'Substitute on - Freddie Burns , Gloucester Rugby
38'Bath tacklers don't roll away and Tim Wigglesworth awards another penalty. Twelvetrees hits post ...
36'9-6 Penalty goal - George Ford , Bath Rugby
35'Gloucester penalised at the lineout, Ford narrows the gap
29'9-3 Penalty goal - Billy Twelvetrees , Gloucester Rugby
28'Twelvetrees converts the penalty resulting from that offence
28'Yellow card - Carl Fearns , Bath Rugby
27'Carl Fearns is sinbinned for hands in the ruck. Bath reduced to 14 men.
25'6-3 Penalty goal - Billy Twelvetrees , Gloucester Rugby
19'
13'3-3 Penalty goal - George Ford , Bath Rugby
12'George Ford levels the scores with his first kick
5'3-0 Penalty goal - Billy Twelvetrees , Gloucester Rugby
4'Bath stray offside. Twelvetrees opens the scoring
1'0-0 Start of first half
