Slump is over at Kingsholm

WOEFUL RUN FINALLY ENDS

- 

GLOUCESTER head coach George Skivington was delighted to end a series of nine Premiership defeats with a bonus-point 32-20 win over Sale.

The home side outscored Sharks by four tries to two, with the visitors producing an error-ridden performance that gifted the Cherry and Whites a couple of scores.

Sale's cause was not helped by the loss of South African forwards Dan du Preez and Cobus Wiese to injury in the first half, and two yellow cards for Sam Dugdale and Joe Carpenter.

Gloucester's tries came from Ollie Thorley, George McGuigan, Ruan Ackermann and Charlie Atkinson, with Santiago Carreras adding three conversions and two penalties.
