Don't forget that tonight is Super 8 night on Premier Sports (Sky Channel 433) and for the second week in a row Gloucester feature, although they face a difficult game away at 2nd in the table Loughborough this evening.

Coverage starts at 19:15.

Do you know if it's free to non-subscribers again like it was last week Mick?

Yes it's free-to-air once again mate.

Should be an easy victory for Loughborough I feel.

Result: Loughborough 58-6 Gloucester

Admittedly, I turned it off after it was clear it was going to be very one sided. Last week's game was better.

I played in this league for the last 2 years....then the year we drop down they put it on sky!! unfair!

Loughborough have always been poop hot. Back in the mists of time when I played Student RL they were one of the best teams in the country and still are.

Comes of it being a major sports-specialist university I guess!

Aye. Them and Leeds Carnegie (before all the sponsorship of other teams) were superb for the same reason.

Bradford Uni had their moments but we were mainly one of the better teams in the second tier of the comp.

I went to leeds met and the rivalary with Loughborough was BIG. Both have some of the best athletes attend so obv the teams are good. In the 1st tryout session there were 5 lads who had been with Leeds Carnegie Union the year before and I think only 2 got in.

Aye, there were some brief moments of sublime skills in 93. Mainly in training granted.

You're too kind.

Any game involving Loughborough or Leeds Met is usually pretty one sided.

I think Leeds met have lost less than 5 games in 5 years in the student comp.

Played for Manchester Met past two years and a bit. Finished second this year. Not in the highest league or anything, but competition is pretty strong.
