Team News: Gloucester
The Director of Rugby, George Skivington, has shuffled his cards for this anticipated face-off. Four significant changes mark the starting XV that previously outclassed Newcastle Falcons amidst harsh weather conditions at Kingston Park.
Front-row welcomes back Kirill Gotovtsev at tighthead, joining Jamal Ford-Robinson and George McGuigan. The second-row sees Freddie Thomas partnering with Freddie Clarke, replacing Arthur Clark. In addition, the back-row is bolstered with the return of Albert Tuisue from the RWC. The backline remains relatively unchanged with Stephen Varney, George Barton, Seb Atkinson, and Chris Harris retaining their positions.
Team News: Saracens
For Saracens, the Director of Rugby, Mark McCall has made three pivotal changes from the squad that battled Bath. The front row will see Mako Vunipola, the captain, flanked by James Hadfield and Christian Judge. The inclusion of Hugh Tizard, after his recovery from a foot injury, strengthens the second-row.
Nick Isiekwe will take the position at six, replacing the injured Theo McFarland. The back-row looks explosive with the likes of Andy Christie and Tom Willis. The backline remains steady with the pairings of Aled Davies and Manu Vunipola, along with Nick Tompkins and Alex Lozowski.
The Predictions
- Winner with Handicap Market: The previous clashes and current form of both teams suggest that the difference in quality is palpable. Given Saracens’ recent struggles and Gloucester’s impeccable record, coupled with the home advantage, we predict Gloucester to win with a handicap of 4 points. Their victory over Saracens last month by a margin of 9 points indicates their ability to cover a handicap in their favour.
- Tryscorer Prediction: Seb Atkinson of Gloucester, having been last week’s Player of the Match, is our pick for the tryscorer prediction. His recent form suggests that he’s in a position to capitalise and put points on the board for his team.
