Skipper Greg Laidlaw returns as the Cherry & Whites make a total of seven changes for the must win encounter against Bath ...

All of  a sudden our cosy season has taken a turn for the worse with chances of top six evaporating thanks to sucessive defeats.

Apart from the likes of Laidlaw and Moriarty we can't really blame Six Nations call-ups, while Bath are boosted by the return of their own considerable cohort.

David Halaifonua comes in for the injured Charlie Sharples andon the oposite wing Steve McColl replaces Henry Trinder. 

Up front Paddy McAllister is back from injury to replace Nick Wood and Darren Dawidiuk will be at hooker in place of Richard Hibbard.

Ross Moriarty starts as does Tom Savage.

Gloucs: 15. Tom Marshall; 14. David Halaifonua, 13. Bill Meakes, 12. Billy Twelvetrees (capt), 11. Steve McColl; 10. James Hook, 9. Greig Laidlaw (capt); 1. Paddy McAllister, 2. Darren Dawidiuk, 3. John Afoa; 4. Tom Savage, 5. Jeremy Thrush; 6. Sione Kalamafoni, 7. Matt Kvesic, 8. Ross Moriarty

Reps:16. Richard Hibbard, 17. Yann Thomas, 18. Paul Doran-Jones, 19. Mariano Galarza, 20. Gareth Evans, 21. Callum Braley, 22. Mark Atkinson, 23. Henry Trinder.

Bath will have all their England Grand Slam players in their starting line up - that's George Ford, Jonathan Joseph and Anthony Watson.
 
Bath : 15 Anthony Watson;14 Semesa Rokoduguni, 13 Jonathan Joseph, 12 Ollie Devoto,11 Matt Banahan; 10 George Ford, Chris Cook; 1 Nathan Catt,  2 Rob Webber,3 Henry Thomas; 4 Charlie Ewels, 5 Dominic Day; 6 Matt Garvey, 7 Francois Louw (capt), 8 Leroy Houston/
