Burns gets us underway.

We are underway here at Kingsholm!

Both teams have finished their warm-ups and have headed into the dressing rooms.

Stephen Myler makes his 300th Saints appearance this afternoon!

Hello all and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of this Aviva Premiership clash between Gloucester and Northampton Saints at Kingsholm. It's 9th vs 8th today with both sides aiming to launch themselves up the table and kick off the New Year with a victory. The hosts head into the match following a narrow loss at the hands of Harlequins last weekend, making eight changes to that side. For Northampton, all eyes will be on the Welsh winger, George North, who slots into the No. 11 shirt after a few weeks break, notably following that controversial concussion he sustained against Leicester earlier in December. With internationals lining up on both sides, we are hoping for a cracker this afternoon! Stay tuned for live updates throughout the 80 minutes.
