Kvesic Torment

Only three of last week's team will start at Bath this weekend. Our focus on qualifying for the European Championship is no doubt the major factor in deciding to select eight Academy players.

The other big issue is that the result of this game will have no effect on the important placings in the league. We are not doing Bath a favour (would we ever) as they will finish second come what may.

Humphreys and Co are also hamstrung by the rash of suspensions we have picked up recently with the biggest blow the banning of Matt Kvesic. He cannot feature again until next season. Ouch and more ouch.

Billy Meakes and Ross Mortiarty are also in the naughty corndr with the official site listing no less than 13 regulars out injured this week. Doubtless there won't be so many out when it comes to selecting for the play-offs.

Gloucs: Rob Cook; Steph Reynolds, Henry Purdy, Brendan Macken, Steve McColl; Aled Thomas, Callum Braley; Nick Wood (capt), Aleki Lutui, Shaun Knight; Tom Hicks, James Hudson; Elliott Stooke, Dan Thomas, Lewis Ludlow

Reps: Darren Dawidiuk, James Gibbons, Yann Thomas, Sam Underhill, Jacob Rowan, Dan Robson, Lloyd Evans, Mark Atkinson

By comparison Bath make only three changes from the side which beat Quins last week, and one of those is the return of Rokoduguni who played for the Army side which beat the Navy last weekend.

Barff: Anthony Watson,  Semesa Rokoduguni, Ollie Devoto, Kyle Eastmond, Matt Banahan, George Ford, Peter Stringer, Paul James, Rob Webber, David Wilson, Dave Attwood, Dominic Day, Sam Burgess, Francois Louw (capt), Leroy Houston.

Reps: Ross Batty, Nick Auterac, Henry Thomas, Matt Garvey, Carl Fearns, Chris Cook, Horacio Agulla, Tom Homer

All Change For Bath
