Shame really but when you play your old arch rivals it's good to be able to call on top class players like Twelvetrees, Hook, Hibbard and Kvesic... all would rather be playing in the world cup, of course..
Instead they will be facing Barff in a "home game "at the Bristol Memorial Ground kick 0ff 3.00.. We're alrady one down in the West Country Challenge having lost 41-38 to Chiefs last week but these games are all about getting ready for the season.
Gloucs: S McColl; C Sharples, B Twelvetrees, B Meakes, H Purdy; J Hook, C Braley; P McAllister, R Hibbard, P Doran Jones, T Savage, E Stooke, J Rowan, M Kvesic, L Ludlow.
Reps: D Dawidiuk, Y Thomas, J Afoa, T Hicks, G Evans, H Randall, O Thorley, M Atkinson, R Moriarty, J Batley, M Protheroe, R Cook, N Thomas, D Thomas, S Reynolds.
