Jack Willis makes his first start of the season in the team to take on Bristol this week. It's a Friday night kick off at 7.45 and will see the hard working James Gaskell make his 150th first team appearance. 

He will be at blindside alongside the brothers Willis and behind skipper Launchbury who has been released from the England training camp.In the front row Gabriel Oghre starts following hooker Tom Cruse 's injury last week.

Gaskell is joined by the Willis brothers in the back row. Marcus Watson will make his 50th appearance if and when he omes off a strong looking bench.

Pat Lam makes a boatload of changes as he looks to recover from last week's defeat at West Copuntry strugglers Worcester.

Make no mistake, this looks a good line up. My only concern is playing Jacob at 15. I know that Watson has lacked confidence in recent months but I would have started with him. meanwhile, why is Ewels preferred for England rather than Joe? As usual, mental Eddie makes the wrong call but, great for us!!!

You could play Tom West at fullback and still beat us by 40, wouldn't worry too much!
