Falcons get the game underway

Gloucester host Newcastle Falcons at Kingsholm. Both teams have had a tough season and sit near the bottom in 11th and 10th respectively. A bonus point win for Gloucester could see them move above Newcastle and Wasps in 9th. Both teams have only one once in the last five matches in all competitions.

Gloucester make three changes to the starting 15 that played last time out against Sale Sharks with Lloyd Evans returning at fly-half alongside Stephen Varney who makes his first appearance at scrum-half since the Bath fixture at The Rec. Kyle Moyle has been given the 15 shirt, swapping roles with Santiago Carreras who is named on the bench.
