Forget the battle for third place in the World Cup - Kingsholm is the place to be this Friday night as unbeaten Gloucester take on bottom cub Sarries with a 7.45 kick off.
OK there are only two games played and lots of players still at the World Cup, but it's still worth savouring the fart that Gloucs have 9 points so far and Sarries nil.
Players are starting to come back from the World Cup with Gloucs beneftting from Albert Tuisue's honourable return from Fiji duty. He will start in a side which has four changes from the one which took to the plastic at Falcons last week.
Kirill Gotovtsev is back in the front row in place of Fraser Balmain and Freddie Thomas replaces Arthur Clark at lock.
Jake Morris finished the Faclons game at full back, after coming on for the injured Lloyd Evans, and he keeps the shirt. Josh Hathawy is poised to make his debut from the bench.
Gloucs: 15. Jake Morris 14. Alex Hearle 13. Chris Harris 12. Seb Atkinson 11. Ollie Thorley 10. George Barton 9. Stephen Varney 1. Jamal Ford-Robinson 2. George McGuigan 3. Kirill Gotovtsev 4. Freddie Clarke 5. Freddie Thomas 6. Albert Tuisue 7. Lewis Ludlow (Capt) 8. Zach Mercer.
Changes: 16. Jack Singleton 17. Harry Elrington 18. Ciaran Knight 19. Cam Jordan 20. Jack Clement 21. Charlie Chapman 22. Max Llewellyn 23. Josh Hathaway
