Speaking to the media ahead of Friday's Aviva Premiership clash at home to Worcester (kick off 7:45pm), Head Coach Johan Ackermann admitted it's good to be back at Kingsholm after two away games and wants his team to be ready for the challenge that the Warriors will bring.

It was a disappointing return to Welford Road for former Leicester player Ed Slater on Saturday afternoon, and after the game he reflected on how individual errors cost Gloucester dear against Leicester.
