Gloucester Rugby head coach George Skivington has named his team for Friday night’s clash against London Irish.
They will be without five players, who are all involved with their nations, Kirill Gotovtsev, Mark Atkinson, Chris Harris, Louis Rees-Zammit and Stephen Varney.
Skivington has made two changes to the side, with Matias Alemanno and Jack Clement making their way into the starting line up.
Speaking ahead of the fixture, Skivington said:
“London Irish are playing really well. They score a lot of tries and they’ve got a really strong attacking game. Their defence is very good and they are very physical. They got a lot of international caps and they have a star-studded squad. We’re very aware of what’s coming. They played well against and we know that it’s going to be a massive challenge for us”
