Danny Cipriani stole the show on his return from suspension last night as Gloucester secured a 36-14 bonus-point win over Leicester Tigers in the Gallagher Premiership.
The England international, who was overlooked by Eddie Jones for the Autumn Internationals, controlled the game well with some magical touches, including a beautiful bit of skill for Woodward’s try.

His side were also denied one of the tries of the season when Cipriani took on the Gloucester defence before playing a lovely one-two with Banahan, only for a pass to go forward.
"STOP GOING ON ABOUT CIPRIANI!"
No.

But Gloucester did end up scoring try of the season contender in the closing minutes thanks to an incredible bit of footwork from Ben Morgan, before Ollie Thornley turned on the afterburners to coast home. Sensational stuff.
OHH WHAT A TRY!!
Big Ben Morgan with the step!?
