Jewell: Named at full-back for London Welsh

The Exiles followed up their win over Exeter with a 29-19 victory against Sale last time out. And after that success, coach Lyn Jones has made just one change to his starting XV - with Seb Jewell named at full-back and Phil MacKenzie dropping to the bench.

There is a further change among the replacements, with Alfie To'oala preferred to Ed Williamson as back-row cover.

Gloucester boss Nigel Davies has made a trio of alternations to his line-up following the win over Wasps.

Player-coach Mike Tindall replaces the benched Henry Trinder in the backs, while Huia Edmonds and Peter Buxton come into the pack.

Darren Dawidiuk is ruled out with a knee injury, while England No.8 Ben Morgan suffered a dead calf against Wasps.
