POV and encyclopedic style
There are a number of examples of POV and unencyclopedic style of prose in this article. They have been fixed a couple of times but these changes have been reverted by (I suspect) well-intentioned editors who are unaware of Wikipedia guidelines and practices. Therefore, for future reference, here are some examples of POV/unencyclopedic language which I am changing:


 * "Teague had drifted out of the picture for England until storming back" - "storming" is an emotive word and is not suitable for Wikipedia in this contect.
 * "...back into Lions contention as an ever-present for his country in 1988-89" - this sentence makes little sense as the first half relates to the Lions (a multi-nation team) and the second half refers to his place on the England team. Needs rewording, but I can't as I don't know exactly what is meant.
 * "The Lions won the series with two victories built on the platform of a hard-nosed forward effort that had the West Countryman at its heart." - "hard-nosed" is a little POV/overly colourful and "had the West Countryman at its heart" is not acceptable without reliable sources backing this view up.
 * "He shored up the lineout and set a barn-storming example for his team-mates to follow" - "barnstorming" is far too colourful and subjective a term for Wikipedia.
 * "His pub is a shrine to Gloucester and his own rugby achievements" - says who? A reliable source is required. And the use of the word "shrine" is again far too colourful for Wikipedia.
 * "programmes, jerseys, boots and balls jostle for space with faded photographs of Gloucester teams dating back to the 1800s" - "jostle" and "faded photos" are decidedly colourful/poetic - again not suitable for Wikipedia.

Also, section headings should only have their first word and any subsequent proper nouns capitalised - all other words should begin with the lower case. Therefore the "Club Career" section needs to be renamed as the "Club career" section. See Manual_of_Style_(capital_letters) for details.
