Friday Night Team
Tomos Williams Returns
By New Boy
December 19 2024
It promises to be a Friday night full of festive fun in front of a sold-out Kingsholm ( if you havent got a ticket it's on the telly kick off 7.45) . Both Gloucs and Quins can be brilliant on their day. On other's not so much.
The Cherry and Whites do go into the game hvaing won their last three league games while Quins lost their last two : 24-48 at home to Bears and 28-26 at Sarries.
Both will be putting their strongest available sides out. Tomos Williams is back for Gloucs in a formidable looking back line with Santi Carreras, Christian Wade and Josh Hathaway forming a mouth watering back three.
Will they get enough ball? That's up to Val Rapava-Ruskin, Seb Blake and Afo Fasogbon up front with Freddie Thomas and Matias Alemanno at lock.
Unfortunately, Zach Mercer is ruled out so Ruan Ackermann starts at No. 8 alongside Jack Clement and Lewis Ludlow
