Chris Harris is back from Scotland duty and is the only change to the side which will take on La Rochelle on Good Friday night in the Champions Cup.

It's a powerful looking back division with Harris at inside centre alongside Mark Atkinson. The back three also have some real potency with Santiago Carreras, Louis Rees-Zammit and Jonny May looking to benefit from good service.

Lewis Ludlow will lead the side and an unchanged pack. However, there's a host of forwards ready to come on with only Billy Twelvetrees and Charlie Chapman providing backs cover from the bench.

La Rochelle will be formidable opponents  They're second in the French league and have the likes of Will Skelton and Victor Vito their powerful pack. 

Kiwis Tawera Kerr-Barlow and Ihaia West are at half back.

The format of the tournament has been  changed with Gloucs in the final  16 teams emerging from the pool stage. The winner of this game will play either Scarlets or Sale in the quarter-finals.

Gloucs: 15. Santiago Carreras  14. Louis Rees-Zammit 13. Chris Harris 12. Mark Atkinson 11. Jonny May 10. George Barton 9. Willi Heinz  1. Val Rapava-Ruskin
