Gloucester ring in the changes ahead of Munster
- 144
Gloucester Rugby have shuffled the pack for tomorrow's Champions Cup trip to Cork to take on Munster Rugby, with a number of key figures also set for timely returns from injury.
One such return is fan favourite Jamal Ford-Robinson, who starts in the front row with Dian Bleuler and Jack Innard.
Behind them, Arthur Clark returns to captain the squad, alongside Cam Jordan.
Jack Clement also returns after picking up an injury on the opening day of the Gallagher PREM season, starting at number 8 with Josh Basham and Harry Taylor on the flanks.
After a superb cameo from the bench against Castres last time out, Charlie Atkinson comes in at fly-half, with Mikey Austin at scrum-half.
Brothers Max and Will Knight, with the former celebrating his 21st birthday this weekend, start in midfield, with Rob Russell, Josh Hathaway and George Barton completing the starting team.
On the bench, Kealan Freeman-Price, Ciaran Knight and Afo Fasogbon are in reserve for the front row, with fellow forwards Danny Eite, Hugh Bokenham and Caio James also named as substitutes. Rhys Price and Jack Cotgreave will cover the backs.

Injury update: Max Llewellyn & Will Joseph
Max Llewellyn and Will Joseph both left the field during Gloucester Rugby's Round 1 victory over Castres Olympique.
Following early assessment, a knee injury for Llewellyn has ruled him out of action until the latter part of the 2025/26 season.
Joseph continues to be assessed, but like Llewellyn, is not expecting to return to action quickly.
