Ludlow Returns

By New Cherry
November 28 2025

What a strange  product the Prem is. Away for a month, back for a week then making way for European rugby. How to build an audience. At least the Cherry and White faithful have a home game to savour and it's against the mighty Quins with  a blessed Saturday kick off at 3.00.   

It's a must win for a home side which has yet to win a Prem game and which is second bottom only because the Red Bulls are just that  .. a load of bull but possibly not for long.

Gloucs have had time to use the Cup interval to look at options and apparentlky are now looking at thecoaching set-up. That will be a given if there aren't some league wins soon.

So who is going into battle against Quins? 

The good news is that Lewis Ludlow is back from injury and this wll be his 250th game, while back row partner Deian Gwynne will be making his league debut.The front five looks powerful with Mati Alemanno and Freddie Thomas at lock  and Ciaran Knight, Seb Blake and Kirill Gotovtsev in the front row.

The match-up with the Quins backs will be fascinating. At half-back Tomos Williams and Ross Byrne once more will be looking to set Seb Atkinson and Will Joseph away. Out wide Ollie Thorley will be making his 150th appearance with another debutant in Rob Russell on the opposite wing.
