The Heineken Cup visit of Perpignan [Saturday 6.00 pm] sees Nigel Davies making three changes in the pack as he tries to find a solution to stop us going backwards and get some decent ball for our talented backs ...

In the backs Jimmy Cowan starts at scrum half with Jonny May and Rob Cook also coming back in.

 Perpignan make eight changes to the team which beat Biarritz last week. Former Glaws back row Luke Narraway will be at No. 8 while Justin Purll shifts to blindside flank. In the second row Romain Taofifenua and Dan Leo replace Guillaume Vilaceca and Sebastien Vahaamahina while Paulica Ion and Sebastien Taofifenua start instead of Giorge Jgenti and Kisi Pulu.

In the backs Wandile Mjekevu replaces Joffrey Michel on the right wing while Tommaso Benvenuti takes over from Sione Piukala in midfield. At scrum half Nicolas Durand comes in for Dewaldt Duvenage.

Looks like both sides mean business.

Glous: 15 Rob Cook, 14 Jonny May, 13 Mike Tindall, 12 Billy Twelvetrees, 11 James Simpson-Daniel, 10 Freddie Burns, 9 Jimmy Cowan, 8 Sione Kalamafoni 7 Matt Kvesic, 6 Tom Savage (c), 5 James Hudson, 4 Elliott Stooke, 3 Shaun Knight, 2 Huia Edmonds, 1 Yann Thomas. Reps:  Dan George,  Dan Murphy,  Rupert Harden,  Gareth Evans,  Akapusi Qera,  Dan Robson,  Ryan Mills,  Martyn Thomas.

 

Perpignan: 15 James Hook, 14 Wandile Mjekevu, 13 Tommaso Benvenuti, 12 Lifeimi Mafi, 11 Sofiane Guitoune, 10 Camille Lopez, 9 Nicolas Durand, 8 Luke Narraway, 7 Alasdair Strokosch, 6 Justin Purll, 5 Romain Taofifenua, 4 Dan Leo, 3 Paulica Ion, 2 Guilhem Guirado (capt), 1 Sebastien Taofifenua. Reps:  Romain Terrain, Kisi Pulu, George Jgenti,  Jean-Pierre Perez,  Dewaldt Duvenage, David Marty,  Joffrey Michel,  Luke Charteris.

Big pack from Perpignan but none of the French sides are travelling well at the moment. I reckon that home advantage will count for a hell of a lot - 4 points for Cherry and Whites.
