Rare Luxury

George Skivington has the rare luxury of being able to ask a winning team to "go again." There are no changes to the starting XV which shaded Quins last week and which takes on Saints at Franklin's Gardens (Saturday kick off 2.45) - that doesn't happen very often.

Saints are currently third and just one point ahead of the Cherry and Whites so this a proverbial "ten pointer."

It will also mark Val Rapava-Ruskin's 100th appearance. He starts at prop and the side will be also able to call on Chris Harris who has been released from the Scotland Six Nations squad.

However, Louis Rees-Zammitt is needed by Wales so his place on the bench is taken by Billy Twelvetrees.

Gloucs: 15. Lloyd Evans 14. Jonny May 13. Chris Harris 12. Seb Atkinson 11. Ollie Thorley 10. Santi Carreras 9. Ben Meehan 1. Val Rapava-Ruskin 2. Seb Blake 3. Kirill Gotovtsev 4. Freddie Clarke 5. Matias Alemanno 6. Ruan Ackermann 7. Lewis Ludlow (capt) 8. Albert Tuisue.

Bench: 16. Henry Walker 17. Harry Elrington 18. Jamal Ford-Robinson 19. Cam Jordan 20. Jack Clement 21. Charlie Chapman 22. Billy Twelvetrees 23. Tom Seabrook.
