Argentinian flair inspires Gloucester to Challenge Cup victory over Clermont
By PA
Santiago Socino ran in two crucial tries before half-time to help Gloucester to a 28-17 Challenge Cup victory over Clermont at Kingsholm.
The Argentina hooker’s double enabled Gloucester to take a commanding 22-10 lead into the interval and while their French opponents fought back, they had already done enough to post a second win of the competition.
Former England wing Jonny May also touched down and Santiago Carreras booted 13 points.
Scarlets endured a harrowing evening when they were thumped 23-7 at home by Georgian team the Black Lions.
Number eight Vaea Fifita crossed in the fourth minute but that’s where the Welsh region’s fortune ran out as they were duly routed by a team embarking on their maiden European season.

Don't think you've watched enough. But let's see how the future pans out. I'm quietly confident we have a row of 10's lined uo who would each start in many really good teams.

But, if Joe goes, RA with its current financial situation will be forced into promoting from within. And this will likely destabilise other areas.
To better understand some of the entrenched bitterness of those outside of NZ and NSW (as an example 😂), Nic, there is probably a comparison to the old hard heads of welsh rugby who are still stuck in the 1970s. Before the days where clubs merged, professionalism started, and the many sharp knives were put into the backs of those who loved the game more than everyone else. I’m sure you know a few... But given your comparison of rugby in both wales and Australia, there are a few north of the tweed that will never trust a kiwi or NSWelshman because of historical events and issues over the history of the game. It is what it is. For some, time does not heal all wounds. And it is still festering away in some people. Happy holidays to you. All the best in 2025.
