Rapava-Ruskin set for 100th Cherry & White appearance on Friday night – Huge Rugby News

After a month away, the Cherry & Whites return to Kingsholm tomorrow night when they welcome the 2021 champions Harlequins in the Gallagher Premiership.

Both teams are level on 32 points in the league after 16 rounds, with Gloucester Rugby sitting one place above Quins on points difference.

Head Coach George Skivington has named a largely unchanged side from the last outing, with Val Rapava-Ruskin set to make his 100th Gloucester Rugby appearance as he packs down with Seb Blake and Kirill Gotovtsev in the front-row.

Freddie Clarke and Matias Alemanno combine again in the second row with Ruan Ackermann returning from injury in the back-row to join Albert Tuisue and captain Lewis Ludlow.

Ben Meehan and Santi Carreras are the half-backs, with Seb Atkinson and Chris Harris starting in the centres. Harris has featured twice from the bench for Scotland in the opening two rounds of the Six Nations.

Ollie Thorley, Jonny May and Lloyd Evans complete the team.

Henry Walker, Harry Elrington and Jamal Ford-Robinson are the front-row cover on the bench. They are joined by Cam Jordan, Jack Clement, Charlie Chapman, Tom Seabrook and Louis Rees-Zammit.

Zammit makes a welcome return from the injury he sustained against Leicester Tigers on Christmas Eve.

The match against Quins kicks-off at 7.45pm tomorrow night and tickets can still be purchased here.
