Davidson and Reid come into Gloucester pack

GEORGE Skivington has made two changes to his Gloucester Rugby side for their home clash with Newcastle Falcons this afternoon.

Lock Andrew Davidson and back row man Jordy Reid come in to the starting line up for Cam Jordan and Ben Morgan respectively.

The Cherry & Whites’ front row remains the same as the previous two games, with Harry Elrington, Santiago Socino and Fraser Balmain once again teaming up.

Davidson joins Freddie Clarke in the second row, while Reid starts on the blind side with Ruan Ackermann shifting to number eight with skipper Lewis Ludlow captaining the side in the seven shirt once more.

Charlie Chapman and Lloyd Evans continue their partnership at halfback, while Jack Reeves remains in the centre after his first Gallagher Premiership start last weekend.

He is again partnered by the experienced Billy Twelvetrees, while Jake Morris, who won the league’s try of the round last week, starts in the back three with Kyle Moyle and Tom Seabrook.

Autumn Nations Series squad to take his place on the bench, while fellow forward Jack Clement is set for his first Premiership appearance of the season.

They are joined on the bench by props Ciaran Knight and Kirill Gotovtsev, second row Jordan, scrum-half Ben Meehan, fly-half George Barton and wing or centre Alex Hearle.
