Greig Laidlaw

Scottish skipper Greig Laidlaw is the latest Glaws Galactico. He'll join next season and it appears that it's the No 10 shirt that he's most likely to be wearing ...

Of course, he plays both scrum-half and fly-half and  will bring a wealth of experience thanks to his 27 caps. He'll join Richard Hibbard and John Afoa as we look to learn the lessons of this season.

Laidlaw is the kind of signing we need to make if we are to start competing with the likes of Saints who gave us a lesson in finishing at the weekend. We'd done reasonably welltop keep them at bay until the last quarter but three tries from Tom Stephenson, Alex Waller and Will Hooley blitzed us.

The result was a 39-13 defeat and, to be honest, we can have little argument. We managed just one try from Henry Trinder .

Saints: James Wilson (Ben Foden 50); Ken Pisi, George Pisi (Will Hooley 75), Tom Stephenson, Jamie Elliott; Stephen Myler, Kahn Fotuali’I (Lee Dickson 50), Ethan Waller (Alex Waller 50), Mike Haywood (Ross Mcmillan 75), Salesi Ma’afu (Tom Mercey 50); Sam Dickinson (Ben Nutley 65), Christian Day; Calum Clark, Phil Dowson (Capt.), GJ Van Velze (Samu Manoa 35).

Tries: K Pisi, C Clarke, T Stephenson, A Waller, W Hooley

Gloucs: Rob Cook; Charlie Sharples, Henry Trinder, Mike Tindall (Capt.), Martyn Thomas (Shane Monahan 55); Freddie Burns (Billy Burns 60), Dan Robson (Tavis Knoyle 65); Yann Thomas (Dan Murphy 55), Huia Edmonds (Dan George 50), Rupert Harden (Sila Puafisi 50); Elliott Stooke (Will James 50), James Hudson; Matt Cox, Matt Kvesic, Gareth Evans (Ross Moriarty 65).
