Gloucester Rugby travel to Newport as they take on Dragons at Rodney Parade in the final pool game of the European Challenge Cup.
The Cherry and Whites have already secured a place in the last 16 knockout round but will be hoping to regain their form following the recent defeat to Wasps in the Gallagher Premiership.
For Gloucester, Ollie Thorley returns to the starting line-up opposite Louis Rees-Zammit on the other wing with Kyle Moyle starting at fullback.
As for Dragons, it’s a big landmark for Jack Dixon. The centre makes his 150th appearance for the home side and full-back Jordan Williams will make his 50th appearance.
Also, Wales internationals Taine Basham and Aaron Wainwright return in the back row with the captain, Harrison Keddie alongside them.
Dragons boss Dean Ryan is looking forward to the prospect of his side taking on a strong Premiership side, “We’re looking forward to facing Gloucester and it’s going to be a great atmosphere with a big crowd in at Rodney Parade.
“Gloucester are having a strong season and also putting pressure on the top half of the English Premiership with some games in hand, they have an incredibly powerful forward unit.”
As for the away side, George Skivington believes with the returning internationals, the match could prove difficult.
“They’ve obviously got a good number of internationals coming back into the squad after the Six Nations who haven’t played for them much this season.
“I expect it to be a very physical day and a very tough day, it’s a different challenge for us and it’s one we’ll embrace.”
