Unchanged for Sarries

It's a rare luxury these days but the Cherry and Whites go into Sunday's Sarries' showdown unchanged ....

The starting XV who did such a good job on Wasps last week are being invited to do it again but nobody is under any illusion that it won't be an even tougher game.

Sarries have lost only once so far and are three points clear of Bath.

They've got players way on international duty as eell so now may well be a good tuime to play them specially as the likes of ben Morgan are available for Glaws.  OK Jonny May and Greg Laidlaw are also away but its the pack which is ikely to be the key feature of this encounter.

There are some swaps on the bench where Paul Doran-Jones and Billy Twelvetrees return in place of Yann Thomas and Mat Protheroe..

Gloucs: 15. James Hook; 14. Charlie Sharples, 13. Matt Scott, 12. Mark Atkinson, 11. Henry Purdy; 10. Billy Burns, 9. Willi Heinz (capt); 1. Paddy McAllister, 2. Richard Hibbard, 3. John Afoa; 4. Tom Savage, 5. Mariano Galarza; 6. Lewis Ludlow, 7. Jacob Rowan, 8. Ben Morgan
