Young - Skipper

We will get a better idea of what the 20-21 Wasps might deliver when we travel to an underperforming Gloucester for the first away game.

The hosts have less internationals on duty than most Prem sides but distinctly unimpressed in going down at Tigers last week.

They normally perform better in front of the football crowd which inhabits The Shed but, of course, that's not a factor at the moment.

So we can concentrate on building from the impressive win over Bears last week.

Young leads the side and we will be missing Jack Willis who is recalled by England. That allows last week's try scorer Tom Willis to take the 8 shirt

In the backs Sam Wolstenholme replaces Ben Vellacott, who drops to the bench, with Jimmy Gopperh starting at stand-off.

Wasps: 15 Lima Sopoaga, 14 Zach Kibirige, 13 Juan de Jongh,12 Michael Le Bourgeois, 11 Josh Bassett, 10 Jimmy Gopperth, 9 Sam Wolstenholme, 1 Ben Harris

2 Tom Cruse, 3 Kieran Brookes, 4 Tim Cardall, 5 James Gaskell, 6 Alfie Barbeary, 7 Thomas Young  (c) , 8 Tom Willis. 

Replacements: 16 Tommy Taylor, 17 Tom West, 18 Jeff Toomaga-Allen, 19 Levi Douglas, 20 Ben Morris, 21 Ben Vellacott, 22 Charlie Atkinson 23 Paolo Odogwu
