Dramatic late penalties ensure that London Irish's problems at Kingsholm persist.

The final kick of the game, a 45-meter penalty by Santiago Carreras, meant that London Irish's dismal record at Gloucester remained with an 8-6 loss at a packed Kingsholm. It would have been a grave injustice if the Exiles had ended their losing streak; they have only triumphed twice at the location in the Premiership, with their most recent victory occurring in 2013. Despite how closely the final score was contested. The London Irish pack struggled against a strong Gloucester pack without the experience of suspended internationals Agustin Creevy, Adam Coleman, and Rob Simmons in their front five.
