The Gloucester Rugby U18’s are back in action on Friday night against Worcester Warriors at Cheltenham Tigers in their second game of the season. (Kick-off 7pm)

Coming off the back of a 18-15 victory against Leicester Tigers, the Cherry and Whites will be looking to make it two wins from two games in this shortened campaign which is aimed at giving the players some much needed game time.

There are seven changes to the starting 15 that played last time out with Rob Nixon (Sir Thomas Rich’s) continuing the captaincy at No.8.

Centre Conor Murphy (Hartpury College) will be hoping to put in another impressive performance after scoring 13 points in a man of the match performance against Leicester.

As well as the shortened season, the laws of the game have been adapted with the academies using the law adaptations used within the Allianz Premier 15s competition.
