Gloucester v Wasps preview

Redpath: Hoping for better result

Freddie Burns, Rory Lawson and Henry Trinder replace Nick Runciman, Tim Taylor and Mike Tindall for the Cherry and Whites, while Jonny May replaces Charlie Sharples on the right wing following his late try against Connacht.

"We've lost our way a little bit. This week we've tried to get back to where we were earlier in the season," head coach Bryan Redpath said.

"We are trying to rebuild a bit. We've actually been playing reasonably well without winning."

Wasps fly-half Nick Robinson knows his side must run out at Kingsholm with all guns blazing if they are to secure a result against his former club.

"We will need a big performance to get a result as Gloucester are always a formidable side at home," he said.

"For us to go down there and get a win we are going to have to be on top of all aspects of our game."

Joe Burton replaces long-term injury victim John Hart in one of three changes made by Wasps, with flanker Matt Everard and prop Ben Broster back after knocks.

Kick-off is at 3pm.
