It's Rugby Football Union's U20 county championship quarter final day today and the South West hotbed of rugby has three teams through to the final eight - Cornwall, Devon and Gloucestershire.
Pool three winners Cornwall U20s host pool four runners-up Gloucestershire U20s at Camborne RFC (1430) while pool three runners-up Devon U20s - coached by Ruairi Cushion - meet pool four winners Kent at Canterbury RFC (1430).
Gloucestershire U20s coach Mike Panoho makes three changes to his starting XV for today’s championship quarter-final.
Dings Crusaders forwards Jake Holcombe and Joe Dancer are unavailable and are replaced respectively by Hartpury College pair Ewan Bulger and Kyle Frowen. In the backs Thornbury’s Ed Sheldon returns to the wing with Ryan Woodhouse starting on the bench.
Cornwall U20s - coached by Ian Morgan - topped their pool with wins over Devon and Dorset & Wilts but Gloucestershire will be confident following their resounding 56-3 win over defending champions Berkshire in their last outing. Two years ago Gloucestershire defeated Cornwall 37-22 at Camborne.
Reward for the today's winners at the Recreation Ground will be a home semi-final tie.
