Opposition view: Skivington takes positives from Gloucester's success against Saints
Gloucester boss George Skivington took plenty of positives from his side's 31-21 win against Saints on Saturday night.
The Cherry and Whites booked their place in the quarter-finals of the European Challenge Cup thanks to the victory at Kingsholm.
Saints did come back from 21-0 down to go in just seven points behind at the break.
But Dan Biggar saw red 12 minutes into the second half and Gloucester went on to secure the win.
"I think we did some good stuff," Skivington said.
