Match Commentary

81'6-15 End of second half
80'And that's it! Bath have won at Kingsholm and they're now four from five in the Premiership. It's pretty grim viewing for Gloucester fans who have just one win this season...
79'Bath just need to keep the ball now and that's game over.

74'Try for Bath! It's Banahan who goes over in the corner thanks to a wonderful pass from Fotuali'i.
74'6-13 Try - Matt Banahan , Bath Rugby
73'Bath force a five metre scrum on Gloucester's line after Anthony Watson's chip causes all sorts of mischief in the Cherry and White's defence...
72'Player substituted - Jacob Rowan , Gloucester Rugby
72'Substitute on - Matt Kvesic , Gloucester Rugby
70'Getting a little more frantic now as Gloucester try and force their way back into Bath's half. The introduction of Matt Scott to their midfield will give them fresh impetus for the final 10 minutes.
70'Substitute on - Jeff Williams , Bath Rugby
70'Player substituted - Semesa Rokoduguni , Bath Rugby
70'Substitute on - Matt Scott , Gloucester Rugby
70'Player substituted - Mark Atkinson , Gloucester Rugby
68'And like his last effort... Laidlaw's kick falls just under the bar. That's three from four he's missed...
67'Bath's scrum has really struggled today and it gives Gloucester the chance to retake the lead through Laidlaw...
65'Player substituted - Billy Burns , Gloucester Rugby
65'Substitute on - Willi Heinz , Gloucester Rugby
65'Substitute on - Paul Doran Jones , Gloucester Rugby
65'Player substituted - John Afoa , Gloucester Rugby
64'Checking for some foul play from Attwood on Galarza. A potential tip tackle and it results in a penalty to Gloucester. A little bit harsh there?
64'Player substituted - Leroy Houston , Bath Rugby
64'Substitute on - Zach Mercer , Bath Rugby
62'6-8 Try - Anthony Watson , Bath Rugby
61'Bath cross for the first try of the game! Bath eventually force a one-on-one with Homer drawing the defence and allowing Anthony Watson to dodge past Billy Burns and then score in the corner.
60'Substitute on - Kane Palma-Newport , Bath Rugby
60'Player substituted - Henry Thomas , Bath Rugby
60'Player substituted - Tom Dunn , Bath Rugby
60'Substitute on - Ross Batty , Bath Rugby
60'Player substituted - Nathan Catt , Bath Rugby
60'Substitute on - Nick Auterac , Bath Rugby
59'After plenty of pressure on Gloucester's line, Bath eventually knock it on and then concede the penalty. Gloucester clear long into Bath's half.
56'Ford's cross kick is wayward and allows Gloucester to mark and clear. All a little disjointed...
55'Substitute on - Yann Thomas , Gloucester Rugby
55'Player substituted - Paddy McAllister , Gloucester Rugby
55'Player substituted - Elliott Stooke , Bath Rugby
55'Substitute on - Dave Attwood , Bath Rugby
53'Ford has the chance to draw the game level but his kick just sails wide of the posts from the kicking tee.
51'Bath have lost some momentum in their phase play and are struggling to get their attacks organised. They draw a penalty but lacking a cutting edge.
49'6-3 Penalty goal - Greig Laidlaw , Gloucester Rugby
48'Good nudge from Greig Laidlaw as Gloucester retake the lead through the Scotland No.9.
46'Bath turn their advantage into a drop-goal with George Ford slotting the points. All square at Kingsholm and Bath have started the second half the better of the two sides.
46'3-3 Drop goal - George Ford , Bath Rugby
43'Bath showing some good early intent here in the second half. Banahan and Brew combining nicely in the centres but they aren't making much ground...
41'And we're off in the second half... Surely it can't be as bad as the first half.. surely...
41'3-0 End of first half
40'Well that was dire. Half-time at Kingsholm and it's 3-0 to Gloucester. Stodgy, turgid rugby.
40'3-0 Start of second half
33'Bath are getting on the wrong side of JP Doyle here and have been penalised again. Not much rhyme or reason to this match.
31'Finally!! First blood drawn in the derby as James Hook kicks a long-range penalty to put the hosts in front.
31'3-0 Penalty goal - James Hook , Gloucester Rugby
30'30 minutes gone and time for another scrum penalty.
27'Well... not a lot is happening. It's reset scrum after reset scrum...
24'Gloucester attempt to put Bath under pressure but all their attacking endeavours end in a knock on.
22'Bath eventually get George Ford into drop-goal range but his effort hits the posts. A quarter of the match gone and it's still scoreless.
22'Drop goal-missed
20'It's all a little random in the scrum so far, with Bath winning this penalty. That's two each now and Bath kick to the corner.
17'All a little stop-start so far with Bath again pinged in the scrum. Gloucester miss touch with the penalty thanks to brilliant work from Rokodoguni
15'Bath have some time on the ball but it finishes with one of George Ford's touch-finders instead finding touch....
12'Gloucester dominating the first 11 or so minutes of the match. Bath have made just ONE gainline break...
9'Bath over-throw a lineout on Gloucester's 22 and it gives the Cherry and Whites a chance to counter through Charlie Sharples....
6'Well you don't see that very often. Greig Laidlaw misses a penalty from in front of the sticks. All a little nervy!
5'First blood in the scrum goes to Gloucester with JP Doyle pinging the Bath front-row. And after five minutes we have our first scrap -- this match is always a heated one..
3'Good early pressure from Gloucester as they make a quick-paced start to the match. The damp conditions will make this a match with a fair number of handling errors...
1'And we're off! It's pretty grim at Kingsholm...
1'Here we go -- it's that fearsome rivalry between Gloucester and Bath at Kingsholm. Bath are showing encouraging early signs under Todd Blackadder but Gloucester have endured a poor start to the season and the Kingsholm faithful will be hoping they get back to winning ways in a match that means even more than most.
1'0-0 Start of first half
