The first away league game may prove to be the toughest of the season. Sarries pulled off a great win in their first game beating Quins 30-27 at The Stoop. They'll want to impress their home supporters but can Gloucs upset the apple cart ?
George Skivington is making only two changes to the side wehich beat Wasps with Albert Tuisue starting at No. 8 and Ben Meehan replacing Charlie Chapman at scrum half.
He will be looking to partner Adam Hastings in unleashing a backs division which is as good as any on its day. The pack is certainly capable of providing decent ball and this game could well be decided out wide where Ollie Thorley, Lloyd Evans and Louis Rees-Zammit will be looking to do the damage.
Certainly Gloucs will have to start better than they did agaisnt Wasps. Hoping for a second half comeback against Sarries is a very tall order indeed.
