Gloucester hold out

Gloucester centre Meakes was dismissed for tackling Sam Beard high and without the ball with 15 minutes to play — but Gloucester clung on to secure their first silverware since the 2011 LV= Cup.
The 14-man Cherry and Whites rode out a nervy final quarter-hour to seal a victory founded on ex-Edinburgh scrum-half Greig Laidlaw’s 14 points with the boot.
