Gloucester Rugby recorded their first Gallagher PREM win of the season at the sixth attempt after beating Harlequins 26-15 at Kingsholm on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Full-back Ben Redshaw stole the show with two tries as Gloucester triumphed for the first time in league action since May.<\/p>\n
Flanker Lewis Ludlow and wing Ollie Thorley also crossed for George Skivington\u2019s team, securing a bonus-point success complemented by fly-half Ross Byrne kicking three conversions.<\/p>\n
Quins, whose England star Marcus Smith endured a frustrating afternoon, trailed by only two points at the interval, but could not add to touchdowns from wing Cadan Murley and skipper Alex Dombrandt, with Smith adding a conversion and penalty.<\/p>\n
The visitors produced only occasional glimpses of their trademark attacking game, and second-half inaccuracy cost them dear as Gloucester eased home without remotely hitting top gear.<\/p>\n
Gloucester monopolised initial possession and territory but Quins struck from their first attack to take a 10th-minute lead when Murley applied a simple finish after centre Jarrod Evans\u2019 pinpoint pass freed him in space.<\/p>\n
The home side\u2019s response, though, was immediate and impressive as Redshaw carved open the Quins defence, beating three players before side-stepping a fourth to claim an outstanding try that Byrne converted.<\/p>\n
Quins remained on the back foot, with their cause not helped by losing tighthead prop Titi Lamositele to injury, yet it proved a rapid regrouping process with Dombrandt touching down for his 50th Premiership try before Smith\u2019s conversion opened up a 12-7 lead.<\/p>\n
Gloucester had lost their early zip, undermined by frustrating handling errors, and both sides\u2019 lowly league positions accurately reflected a first half high on endeavour but lacking quality.<\/p>\n
And there was an inevitability about a mistake gifting the game\u2019s fourth try after Quins wing Rodrigo Isgro had a meltdown, opting to almost try and dribble a bouncing ball inside his own 22, allowing Ludlow arrive live a train to gather and score on his 250th Gloucester appearance.<\/p>\n
Byrne then further punished Isgro\u2019s horrible blunder by converting and sending Gloucester in at half-time holding a 14-12 advantage.<\/p>\n
A forgettable third quarter saw no change in the scoreline until Gloucester struck again on the hour mark as Redshaw pounced for his second try, with Byren zipping a 20m flat pass to create the score and then convert from the left to leave Quins floundering.<\/p>\n
Smith then cut the gap to six points through a well-struck penalty, yet Thorley took Gloucester clear courtesy of an impressive finish that highlighted a strong individual display on his 150th appearance and left Quins with no way back.<\/p>\n
Quins went in search of a losing bonus as the clock ticked down, but Gloucester comfortably denied them and got their Prem campaign finally up and running.<\/p>\n
