George Skivington makes five changes to his Gloucester starting XV for tomorrow’s home game against Wasps, 1500ko.

Gloucester will be looking to bounce back following last week's 38-15 defeat at Leicester.

Ollie Thorley, who has returned from training with the England camp, starts along with Jack Singleton, Freddie Clarke, Lloyd Evans and Tom Seabrook while Billy Twelvetrees skippers the Cherry & Whites in the absence of Lewis Ludlow.

Val Rapava-Ruskin, Jack Singleton and Jack Stanley pack down in the front row with Ed Slater and Matt Garvey continuing their second-row partnership.

Ruan Ackermann keeps the number 8 shirt and will have Freddie Clarke as his blindside flanker with Jordy Reid switching to openside.

Joe Simpson starts at scrum-half against his former club with Lloyd Evans at fly-half. Mark Atkinson and Billy Twelvetrees link up in the centre again with Tom Seabrook, Ollie Thorley and Jason Woodward completing the back three.

Kyle Moyle will make his debut for the club if he comes on while Henry Trinder, Alex Craig and Ciaran Knight will make their first appearances of the season if they feature.
