Barton At Fly Half

Barton Try

George Barton gets his first start in the 10 shirt in the side which travels to take on a Wasps side whose form has nosedived in recent weeks.

It's a chance to see whether Gloucs have turned the corner after our second half performance clinched only the second win of the season last week.

By comparison Wasps started the season with half a dozen straight wins. That's all gone out of the window in recent weeks - they've only won once in the last five.

A win would certainly help build some confidence. We will have the benefit of Chris Harris returning from the Scvottish camp and he'll partner Billy Twelvetrees in the centre.

In the front row Santiago Socino makes his first  start at hooker.

It's a 3.00 pm kick off on Satrurday..

Gloucs:: Moyle; Carreras, Harris, Twelvetrees; Thorley, Barton, Heinz; Seville, Socino, Balmain, Slater, Alemanno, Reid, Ludlow (c), Ackermann.
