A late Gloucester rally secured two league points despite a 38-31 loss to Leicester Tigers at Welford Road.
Gloucester Rugby left Leicester with two bonus points after a 38-31 defeat in a high-scoring Gallagher PREM match at Mattioli Woods Welford Road.
Gloucester made a fast start and moved 14-0 ahead, with Jac Morgan and Dian Bleuler scoring during the opening spell. Leicester recovered before half-time and then built a larger advantage after the break.
The Cherry and Whites responded late, with Will Trenholm and Jack Innard among the scorers as Gloucester closed the gap. A final penalty reduced the margin to seven points, securing the losing bonus point alongside the try bonus.
The result was Gloucester's first league defeat of the season, but the two points limited the damage in the table. It also provided another test of the side's ability to stay in matches after momentum swung heavily towards the opposition.
