England's Loss .....

Jonny May is probably not as happy as Gloucs supporters but most of us are absolutely delighted to see him back in the Cherry and White in the side which has a vital game at Coventry Wasps on Sunday ..
Jonny will be desperate to prove a point to those he's left behind in Dublin. It has to be said he wasn't at peak form in the England games so far this season, but he is a potential match winner worth at least a place on the bench.
Instead, he will be running out in a Gloucester side which shows five changes in all.
Mark Atkinson comes in for the injured Henry Trinder, Dan Robson returns at scrum-half, and there's no surprise that Darren Dawidiuk and Tom Palmer return for Lutui and James Hudson.
Gloucester::Charlie Sharples; Jonny May, Mark Atkinson, Bill Meakes, Henry Purdy; James Hook, Dan Robson; Dan Murphy, Darren Dawidiuk, John Afoa; Tom Savage (capt), Tom Palmer; Ross Moriarty, Matt Kvesic, Sione Kalamafoni.
Reps: Aleki Lutui, Yann Thomas, Sila Puafisi, James Hudson, Jacob Rowan, Callum Braley, Billy Burns, Gareth Evans
Wasps are unbeaten at home this season - at both of their homes, in fact. However, they come into this game off the back of a mediocre performance at Falcons last week where the home side should have triumphed.
They have a new second row partnership in James Cannon and James Gaskell, while the front row and back row remain unchanged from the Falcons game.
Wasps: Rob Miller, Christian Wade, Elliot Daly, James Downey, Tom Varndell, Andy Goode, Joe Simpson, Matt Mullan, Carlo Festuccia, Jake Cooper-Woolley, James Cannon, James Gaskell, Ashley Johnson, Thomas Young, Nathan Hughes
Reps: Ed Shervington, Simon McIntyre, Phil Swainston, Kearnan Myall, Guy Thompson, Piri Weepu, Alex Lozowski,. Sailosi Tagicakibau
The game kicks off at 1.00 so that supporters can watch the Ireland v England game.
