Barton Starts
By New Cherry
March 11 2022

Fascinating encounter up in Greater Manchester as we take on close rivals Sale Sharks - it's sixth versus seventh.

Gloucs have five more points that the Sharks who have also played one more game. So have the three sides above us so a five pointer would really help our chances of finishing in the top four.

Witrh Adam Hastings back in the Scotland squad young George Barton starts at fly half to partner Ben Meehan.

Lewis Ludlow is back form his own sojournn wth the Six Nations and will skipper a side which retains last week's front row against on of the bigger packs.

Also interest on the bench where Louis Hillman-Cooper could make his Premiership debut and Bryan O'Connor and Alex Morgan may make their first  appearances of the season.

Gloucs: 15. Kyle Moyle 14. Santiago Carreras 13. Tom Seabrook 12. Billy Twelvetrees 11. Ollie Thorley 10. George Barton 9. Ben Meehan 1. Harry Elrington 2. Santiago Socino 3. Fraser Balmain 4. Freddie Clarke 5. Matias Alemanno 6. Jordy Reid  7. Lewis Ludlow  (capt) 8. Ruan Ackermann.
