Billy Twelvetrees has warned his Gloucester Rugby team mates that if they write off the challenge posed by the London Welsh, they will be doing so at their own peril. The centre at Kingsholm admitted that although many people had considered the new boys to the Aviva premiership as the weakest side in the division, they would not be making that mistake. The Exiles started their campaign in the Aviva Premiership with two heavy defeats in their first two encounters, almost living up to suggestions that they would become the whipping boys for the other teams.
However, since then, they have managed to turn their campaign around with two consecutive wins and The Cherry Whites centre believes that Gloucester Rugby has to be cautious in their approach. The two sides are scheduled to meet on Sunday at Oxford and the 23 year old is looking forward to stern test. Twelvetrees admitted that although The Cherry Whites know that they will start the game against The Exiles as the firm favorites, he expects his side to handle their challenge quite well; that is unless they start to take them for granted and take their foot off the pedal.
Twelvetrees knows that the test that awaits them against The Welsh at Oxford, with their stern backs and their physical approach to the game being their strong points. Twelvetrees has, however, admitted that he was surprised with The Exiles’ resurgence in their last two games.
Twelvetrees is of the opinion that any side that can win two straight games in the top flight of English rugby cannot be considered as weak and the more the other teams underestimate them, the more they will feed off them. Twelvetrees also knows that the only way to handle them physical side is with stern focus on the game.
