Gloucester-Hartpury 12-17 Bristol Bears
The officials are taking their time over this one.
Bristol full-back Meryl Smith's arm is, according to the TMO, "clearly" underneath the ball. Sara Cox, the on-field referee, is not convinced.
Cox wants to be absolutely certain if she is to disallow the try.
Bethan Lewis (46 mins)
Game on.
Gloucester get bodies into the attack down the right, with Bethan Lewis among those joining in. It is the back row who picks up the loose ball and drives over the line.
TMO is checking this however. Was the ball held up?

Mia Venner, who hasn't had much opportunity to getforward today for Gloucester, almost escapes down the left but is caught.
But now they move the play to the right...
Gloucester-Hartpury 7-17 Bristol Bears
Bristol have started this half as they ended the first - with plenty of possession and kicking for line-outs whenever they get a penalty.

This is the first Premiership game this season in which Gloucester have trailed at half-time.
Timing is everything.

This would be quite the upset if things stay like this.

Who is it for?
It's one of the most inclusive sports around and there are various versions of the game that you can test out.
Is there a cheap option?
You can just play touch rugby in the park with a bunch of friends or family, but joining a club can be inexpensive.
What if I want a proper workout?
From scrummaging to tackling, to sprinting with the ball, this can be a high intensity workout that will boost both your fitness and your strength.

Very clinical from the Bears.
We talk about the multiple phases they're happy to go through, and I think that's really smart play. They got close to the line, they were quite happy to say 'give us the ball and we're going to do it' - the forwards go to work.

Well, well, well.
Bristol Bears are 40 minutes from being Women's Premiership champions for the first time - and deservedly so.

Gloucester look shell-shocked, this was not in their script.
Hannah Botterman (38 mins)
The shock is on!
Bristol bring their forwards into play at the perfect time, Sarah Bern crashing through the defensive line before being stopped right on the try line.
It is only a matter of time however, and prop Hannah Botterman uses every ounce of her strength to power over and ground the ball.
Amber Reed has a better angle for this conversion, and it is good! Bristol have a 10-point cushion.
Gloucester-Hartpury 7-10 Bristol Bears
Bristol continue to dominate the attacking play.
Reneeqa Bonner almost away down the right, but is stopped. It looks as if she might have had her hair pulled too.
Now Bears come down the left, but are held up on the line...

Bristol players clearly joining the maul ahead of the ball carrier! No VAR?

Image source, Getty ImagesBristol are a team of contrasts. They like to play through the hands, but their clearest way to score tries comes in the maul.
Their way is working so far, they lead and have had the bulk of opportunities.
Lark Atkin-Davies (32 mins)
This time the maul works!
From the line-out, they get the bodies behind the ball again, and brawl their way over the line with Lark Atkin-Davies the woman to score.
The conversion from the left wing is too difficult once again. Zero from two for Amber Reed.
Gloucester-Hartpury 7-5 Bristol Bears
...no try. Yet.
Bristol have a penalty on the five metre line. They kick for touch again.
