Newcastle beaten by Gloucester in Premiership
By
Newcastle Falcons fell to a fourth consecutive Premiership defeat on Friday as they were beaten 29-7 at home by Gloucester.
Dean Richards' men started the season strongly but have faltered in recent weeks and now sit ninth, while Gloucester climb to third.
The visitors opened up a 19-0 lead before Mark Wilson went over and Joel Hodgson converted for Newcastle's only points of the match.
Billy Twelvetrees was sent to the sin bin early in the second half but Newcastle failed to take advantage and Gareth Denman touched down to secure a bonus point for David Humphreys' side.
Gloucester could slip to fifth on Saturday if Leicester Tigers and Bath secure victories.

The author is 100% right. The Springboks know that they don't have near the natural attraction, mana, skill and mystic the All Blacks have. So, Chasing the sun 1 & 2 was concocted to overblow the Boks image on the back of a corruptly obtained “win". It's marketing ploy to force the Boks delusion as the World's Best. I guess World Rugby is also not to be believed when it came out with an apology about how the final was officiated. And if the 2023 final such a superb game by the Boks, then the Boks crying about Referee Bryce Lawrence for decades is also deserves a laugh. Chase the sun and get burned like a moth. A very well written literary piece that tore the Boks and Chasing the sun farce to shreds. 🖤All Blacks🏉
