What wouldn't we give for a Charlie Sharples hat trick at Chiefs. It will be his 200th game and let's hope it inspires him and his colleagues following two home defeats.

The season is already in danger of being a damp squib so more than  one win is needed. And Sandy Park is no easy place to go at any time.

Chiefs are a couple of places, and three points ahead of us, so it promises to be a tight affair.

There are the usual crop of changes thanks to injury and, to be frank, loss of form - you can t keep on picking the same losing team.

David Halaifonua replaces the injured Henry Purdy on the wing while  Matt Scott is back at centre.

Up front Paul Doran-Jones is in for the injured John Afoa and Gareth Evans starts in place of Ben Morgan who is on England duty.

Most intersting face on the bench is  hooker Motu Matu'u who makes the squad for the first time since his signing from Hurricanes.

Gloucs: 15. James Hook; 14. Charlie Sharples, 13. Matt Scott, 12. Billy Twelvetrees, 11. David Halaifonua; 10. Billy Burns, 9. Greig Laidlaw (capt); 1. Paddy McAllister, 2. Richard Hibbard, 3. Paul Doran-Jones; 4. Tom Savage, 5. Mariano Galarza; 6. Ross Moriarty, 7. Jacob Rowan, 8. Gareth Evans

Changes: 16. Motu Matu'u, 17. Yann Thomas, 18. Nicky Thomas, 19. Joe Latta, 20. Matt Kvesic, 21. Willi Heinz, 22. Mark Atkinson, 23. Lewis Ludlow
