LOCATION KINGSHOLM / DATE OCTOBER 29 2011 / COMPETITION AVIVA PREMIERSHIP
This weekend the mighty Saracens will travel to Kingsholm to face Gloucester Rugby in the Aviva Premiership. The match is sure to contain a lot of points with one side who are known for fantastic away form and one side who are known for fantastic home form.

Gloucester see the return of two high profile players from the Rugby World Cup this weekend. Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu, who was caught up in controversy after inappropriate Tweeting, and Mike Tindall, who was involved in foolish off field antics, both return to the side.


Saracens have been struck with an injury blow as their scrum-half, Richard Wigglesworth, has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. But their side does feature the likes of Charlie Hodgson, Schalk Brits, Owen Farrell and many more big names so they shouldn't be underestimated.

Ones to watch: Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu, Schalk Brits
Prediction: Gloucester 30-28 Saracens

Alex Goode, David Strettle, Owen Farrell, Brad Barritt, James Short, Charlie Hodgson, Neil de Kock, Rhys Gill, Schalk Brits, Carlos Nieto, Steve Borthwick (captain), Mouritz Botha, Kelly Brown, Jacques Burger, Ernst Joubert
