First Home Game
Thorley Returns
By New Cherry
November 27 2020
Ollie Thorley isn't needed for the England squad this week so he comes straight back into a Cherry and Whites side which takes on Wasps at Kingsholm - kick off at 300 on Saturday and on one of the BT Sport Extra buttons.
He's one of five changes from the disappointing defeat at Tigers last week
As well as the winger Jack Singleton, Freddie Clarke, Lloyd Evans and Tom Seabrook all start. Clarke come into the back row alongside Achermann and Jordy Reid.
Billy skippers the side from centre with Lewis Ludlow injured and Joe Simpson will be at 9 against his old club
Interest onthe bench where Kyle Moyle should make his debut.
Gloucs: 15. Jason Woodward 14. Ollie Thorley 13. Billy Twelvetrees (capt) 12. Mark Atkinson 11. Tom Seabrook 10. Lloyd Evans 9. Joe Simpson 1. Val Rapava-Ruskin 2. Jack Singleton 3. Jack Stanley 4. Ed Slater 5. Matt Garvey 6. Freddie Clarke 7. Jordy Reid 8. Ruan Ackermann.

Wasps had a great start beating Bristol last week but will be without the impresive Jack Willis who is back in the Engkand fold for the game against Wales.
Joe Simpson will be up against a rookie in Sam Wolstenholme who will make his first Premiership start f replacing Ben Vellacott.
