Melville faith in youngsters looks justified

Nigel Melville heaped praise on the youngsters he hopes will keep Gloucester firing during next month's World Cup.

The director of rugby saw his side romp to a comfortable win, with 22-year-old full back Jon Goodridge scoring two tries.

Melville said: 'I have been waiting to play him in his preferred choice of position to see what he can do and he has done a great job.

'He has come through a hard year with injuries and family bereavement and this will be a springboard to better things.

'We have a lot of young lads who are going to be playing during the World Cup and they are getting better each week, which is hugely encouraging.'

James Simpson-Daniel and replacement James Forrester grabbed the other tries.
