Sarries under lights is a wonderful way to start the home season. We go into the game off the back of a big win at Falcons but it will be a lot tougher on Friday night - hence a number of changes for the televised game...  ...

In fact there will be five.

The lads who aren't featuring in the World Cup return so we have Jonny May, James Hook and David Halaifonua coming in with Billy Twelvetrees back in the centre and Charlie Sharples at full back.

In the pack  Sione Kalamafoni is in the second row and Ben Morgan returns at No 8 with Lewis Ludlow alongside him.

Gloucs:  Charlie Sharples; David Halaifonua, Billy Twelvetrees (capt), Bill Meakes, Jonny May; James Hook, Willi Heinz; Paddy McAllister, Richard Hibbard, John Afoa; Tom Savage, Sione Kalamafoni; Lewis Ludlow, Matt Kvesic, Ben Morgan

Reps: Tom Lindsay, Yann Thomas, Paul Doran-Jones, Elliott Stooke, Jacob Rowan, Callum Braley, Steve McColl, Mark Atkinson

The gamne against last season's champions will be a true marker of what we might expect for the rest of the season. They hammered Sale 41-3 last week and also bring some big names back.

George Kruis comes into the side for Maro Itoje to partner Jim Hamilton at second row – club captain Alistair

Neil de Kock continues to partner Charlie Hodgson at half back with Owen Farrell at inside centre. Chris Ashton and Mike Ellery continue on the wings with Alex Goode named at full-back.

Sarries: Alex Goode; Chris Ashton, Tim Streather, Owen Farrell, Mike Ellery; Charlie Hodgson, Neil De Kock; Mako Vunipola, Jamie George, Petrus Du Plessis; George Kruis Jim Hamilton; Michael Rhodes, Kelly Brown, Jackson Wray.

Reps: Jared Saunders, Rhys Gill, Titi Lamositele, Alistair Hargreaves, Will Fraser, Richard Wigglesworth, Nick Tompkins .

Great Start To Home Season
