Gloucester's reliable flanker, Andy Hazell, has been struck with a six week injury lay off. The injury occured during Gloucester's encounter with Northampton on the opening weekend, Hazell played through the pain unaware of the damage that had been caused.

This may be bad for Hazell but gives young Matt Cox the perfect opportunity to prove his potential to head coach Bryan Redpath. Gloucester's squad should be announced today so I will preview the match later on and we will see if Matt Cox is inlcuded. Click read more to view related posts.
