Quins are the visitors as the Premiership league season finally gets underway with a 2.00 kick off on Saturday. The Cherry and Whites go into the game on a high having won all five of their Premiership Cup games and with a host of players getting a competitive run out.

Those wins included a 25-17 victory over Quins, but it will be two very different sides which take to the pitch in the league opener.

George Skivington is on record as saying he has learnt from last season where his side were quick off the blocks only to disappoint inthe second half.  He is putting that down to not rotating the squad enough,  so when injuries occurred the players coming in were not battle hardened.

It will be a big day for skipper Lewis Ludlow who will be making his 200th first team appearance and he wil pack down with Arthur Clark who earns his place in the second row after some impressive games in the Prem Cup.
