Gloucester-Hartpury driven on by sole defeat, says prop Maud Muir

Gloucester-Hartpury prop Maud Muir says the team's defeat by Saracens gave them the kick they needed ahead of the Women's Premiership play-offs.

Watch on the BBC Sport website and BBC iPlayer and listen to commentary on BBC Radio Gloucestershire and BBC Radio Bristol .

The defending champions take on Bristol Bears in the Premiership final on Saturday for the chance to reclaim the title they won for the first time last season."It definitely gave us a little kick up the bum, but it also just proved to us that if you don't play well you're not going to win," Muir told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.

"We just have such a connection off the pitch and I think that's what really has made us play well on the pitch because we all love each other, we want to play for each other and it's just a great team to be a part of," she said. Gloucester-Hartpury aim to do what only Saracens have done before in the Women's Premiership and win back-to-back league titles.
