Lucky Two Thousand

For those in the lucky two thousand there will be a more than welcome return to Kingsholm on Sunday for the arrival of Quins. The consolation for the rest of us is that the game will be on telly AFTER the England v France final . England kick off 2.00 Gloucs kick off 4.15.

Today's update on the lucky 2,000 is that "The initial ballot allocation has now been completed. Successful applicants will receive two emails, firstly an emailing acknowledging their success in the ballot and secondly an email with your print at home ticket/s. Please note, the print at home tickets will be completed today (Friday 4 December), so please don't panic if you haven't yet received your ticket. We also have a number of returns which we will be reallocating to new supporters today (Friday 4 December)."

After last week's great second half against Wasps there are only a couple of changes to the side.

However, Lewis Ludlow is in the back row and will lead the side, while Jamal Ford-Robinson starts in the front row.

It'll be another tough test with Quins hammering Saints last week - the 49-29 defeat on their own patch is nothing short of a crisis for Northampton.

Gloucs: 15. Jason Woodward 14. Ollie Thorley 13. Billy Twelvetrees  12. Mark Atkinson 11. Tom Seabrook 10. Lloyd Evans 9. Joe Simpson 1. Jamal Ford-Robinson 2. Jack Singleton 3. Jack Stanley 4. Ed Slater 5. Matt Garvey 6. Jordy Reid 7. Lewis Ludlow (capt) 8. Ruan Ackermann
