Andy Brown, from Gloucester Rugby's Community department commented on the day:
"Tournaments such as the Land Rover Premiership Cup give these children crucial opportunities to engage with rugby."
"As a Premiership Club, it is great to be able to see the stars of the sport in the future in action. This is especially the case, as the first step of our player development pathway starts at Under 13's, so the Land Rover Premiership Cup allows these players to push themselves forward for further opportunities."
