GLOUCESTER rugby director David Humphreys conceded he had "no complaints" about the decision to send off his Tongan wing David Halaifonua after a dangerous high challenge on Wasps lock Bradley Davies in the 23-3 Aviva Premiership defeat at Wasps on Sunday.

Humphreys was left to rue his team's failure to score over the 80 minutes, with their only points coming from Greig Laidlaw's 49th-minute penalty.

"We just couldn't score," he said. "We were on the other end of a penalty try award and should have definitely had one from a scrum in the second half but that wouldn't have changed the result.

"Large parts of our game were good. Our set piece was excellent and it's ironic that the parts we were good at last year fell away today whereas some of the weaker areas were strong.

"We stuck at it and kept working but we didn't kick well enough in the first half. They got into our half on only four occasions with Elliot Daly kicking three super goals and they scored a fantastic try."
