Gloucester-Hartpury Maintain Winning Streak with Four Bonus Point Victories

In the 2025 Premiership Women's Rugby season, Gloucester-Hartpury, the three-time champions, have made a strong start under their new head coach, Dan Murphy. As of November 17th, 2025, the team has won their first four games, all with bonus points, maintaining a five-point lead at the top of the table.

Murphy has expressed his delight with the team's performance so far, stating that it has been "great" to begin his tenure with such a successful run. However, the coach acknowledges that there is still much for the side to work on, with some areas needing improvement. The team will now have a bye week before traveling to Ashton Gate to face Bristol Bears on November 30th.

One of the key factors behind Gloucester-Hartpury's impressive start has been the impact of new attack coach Matt Banahan, who joined the staff this summer. The players have quickly adapted to Banahan's refreshed attacking approach, with the team averaging 40 points and 6 tries per game in their four PWR matches so far.

Full-back Mia Venner has said that it is "exciting" that the players still do not feel they are at their best, yet have still managed to secure four bonus-point wins. Venner believes the coaches have provided the team with plenty of areas to improve and exploit, and the players are eager to continue their winning ways.
