Were you watching Stuart Lancaster? Billy Twelvetrees is today officially the player who has scored the most points for Gloucester in a single game. Some way to bounce back from international exile ..
The 26-year-old topped the 28-point haul by Simon Mannix (right) in the clash against Northampton Saints in 1999 to become the highest-ever Gloucester scorer in an Aviva Premiership Rugby match.
It capped a week in which he signed a new contract and became a father to Matilda.
Billy celebrated by slotting nine penalties as we got the season off to the best possible start against a never say die Newcastle Falcons. The final score of 39-27 was just about right with tries from Charlie Sharples and Matt Kvesic adding to Billy's haul.
Falcons looked dead and buried at one point but came back strongly and our defence was well tested.
