Nigel Davies has described Gloucester Rugby's victory over London Irish in the Aviva Premiership this afternoon as "crucial".
The side won just two of their first nine games of the domestic season, but have emerged victorious in both of their matches over the festive period.
The director of rugby told BBC Radio Gloucestershire: "It's very important we built momentum over the Christmas period, that's two wins on the trot, which is very important to us. It builds confidence, belief and we can move forward and actually start going up the table rather than going down.
"We obviously gave away a very sloppy try at the start of the game, but then we were in complete control with players in the right areas and managed the game really well.
"Overall, I was really pleased with the performance of the boys today and it was such a crucial game for us yet again."
The result leaves Gloucester ninth in the table.
