With Gloucester sitting 5th, which would have been 2nd had they not conceded late in the game on Tuesday, this looks to be another big test for us. We’ve had 5 consecutive home games, all wins and scoring 16 with just 3 conceded, certainly will go their with confidence.
I don’t think we will dominate like we have at home, so I expect Tommy will have his team set up to manage that. Barrett is in excellent form, so I would expect him to start. Up front, I would keep Ponticelli, he has pace and is work rate is very good. As for Gold, having not started the last couple of games, I would be surprised if he does for this one. I wonder why Gold has been dropped, he isn’t injured and I don’t buy into ‘giving him a rest’. His work rate is good, but for a number 9, historically he hasn’t scored enough.
Score prediction - Gloucester 1 - 1 KL.
