Gloucs head to Bayonne (Sunday kick off 13.00) knowing that a win will almost certainly gaurantee a home game in the next round as they look to retain their European Challenge Cup.
Things are very tight in Pool 3. Gloucester have done the hard work and just need to get over the final hurdle as they look to give themselves that home draw as the losers in the European Champions Cup enter the competition.
George Skivington seems relaxed about it and has made no less than 14 changes. Morgan Nelson will be at hooker alongside Jamal Ford-Robinson and Alfie Petch.The locks will be Freddie Clarke with a back row of Danny Eite, Albert Tuisue and Harry Taylor.
In the backs Charlie Chapman will partners Charlie Atkinson, heopefully celebrating his new contract, while Max Knight and Will Butlerwill be the centrees and a bacxk three of Jake Morris, Louis Hillman-Cooper and George Barton.
