James Hudson gets a chance to fire up the pack when he skippers the side at Sale Sharks on Friday night. He will lead a much changes side as we try to get some consistency in our league performances ..

Darren Dawidiuk and Sila Puafisi return in the front row with Elliott Stooke alonsgide Hudson in the second row after his relase by England.

The back row gets another chance after an excellent show against Wasps in the LV, while Charle Sharpes resumes on the wing.

There's also lots of shuffling in the backs with Ryam Mills moving to centre and Jimmy Cowan and Freddie Burns the latest half back pairing.

Withe the England contingent away it's a chance for the backs to step up to the plate, but they'll have to be at their best to beat Sharks at the AJ Bell Stadium. The hosts are enjoying their best season for some time and are looking to move into the top four.  They will, of course be missing Henry Thomas who is with Billy Twelvetrees and Jonny May in Scotland.

Gloucs: Rob Cook, Charlie Sharples, Henry Trinder, Ryan Mills, Martyn Thomas, Freddie Burns, Jimmy Cowan, Nick Wood, Darren Dawidiuk, Sila Puafisi, Elliott Stooke, James Hudson (capt), Sione Kalamafoni, Matt Cox, Gareth Evans.
