Mike Tindall will skipper the side against Quins on Saturday [kick off 2.00] to mark his tremendous achievement in reaching 200 games for the club. It would be really jolly pleasant if we could win our first league game in 2014 as a special present ....
Quin are up ther in fourth place so they will be confident of a rare win at Kingsholm.
They'll face a home side with yet more changes in the pack as we look for power and consistency. Back come Rupert Harden, James Hudson and Gareth Evans with Sila Puafisi rested following his neck injury at Tigers last week.
Quins have made four changes to the side which won at Falcons last week. Joe Gray will be at hooker, while tighthead Kyle Sinckler will make his first start of the season.
George Robson returns at lock to partner Nick Kennedy and there is one change in the backs with Tim Molenaar is named in place of Jordan Turner-Hall who is injured.
