## Resource

Gloucester's impressive win over Sale the previous week unfortunately meant nothing in the end, as they were once again beaten by Bath down at The Rec. We run through the positives (as ever) and in particular pick out the players who have impressed in an otherwise poor season. Meanwhile, English Rugby is being revamped again, with the long overdue permanent removal of promotion and relegation to the Top flight. Will it have the intended consequences or will it be another false dawn? Finally as England head to Rome for this weekends Six Nations game against Italy, will it finally be the year of an Italian triumph?
