COUNTY RUGBY Gloucestershire starting XV vs Herts

Cinderford RFC centre Rob Winchle captains Gloucestershire in tomorrow’s RFU Bill Beaumont Cup Division 1 South county championship opener against Hertfordshire at Cinderford RFC (1500). 

Winchle is one of 10 Cinderford players in the home 22 including replacement Lance Randall who led Gloucestershire to the National Under 20 Championship semi-finals.

Dings Crusaders RFC forwards Josh Lloyd and Mike Uren are set to be the only Bristol-based players in the starting XV although Avonmouth Old Boy RFC’s Harry Hone is among the replacements.

Hertfordshire will be tough opening opponents. The 2012 county champions scored over 50 points in the corresponding fixture last season. 

Things don’t get easier for Gloucestershire they travel to Camborne RFC to take on last season’s beaten finalists Cornwall tomorrow week before a Saturday May 24 trip to North Midlands at Bromsgrove RFC.
