Freddie Burns gets nod for Gloucester Rugby

Youngster Freddie Burns starts ahead of Nicky Robinson for the first time as Gloucester Rugby travel to Harlequins looking for a second Guinness Premiership win on the bounce tomorrow.

The 19-year-old who has scored all of Gloucester's points in the last two games is once again partnered by Dave Lewis at half back, as head coach Bryan Redpath keeps faith with numbers one to 10 from the victory over Leicester.

Outside Burns, Olly Morgan returns at full-back and James Simpson-Daniel at centre after both pulled out at the last minute last week, with Henry Trinder missing out and Lesley Vainikolo dropping to the bench.

Charlie Sharples and Tom Voyce, both promoted at the eleventh hour on Friday, keep their places on the wings, with Tim Molenaar continuing at centre.

Head coach Bryan Redpath said: "Everybody has an opportunity to beat anyone in this league. There's no easy game and no fixtures which you can say are a dead cert.

"We have to be massively focussed on the next two games. We need victories, however we achieve them.

"The pressure was relieved last week but it hasn't gone away and we'll go down to Harlequins having worked hard Monday to Friday and will do everything we can to win the game.

"Quins are fighting hard. They're in the same position as us. They've been unlucky with injuries and international call ups and they'll be desperate to get back to winning ways."

Up front, Nick Wood, and Greg Somerville continue at prop, with England man Paul Doran-Jones on the bench. Darren Dawiduik keeps his place at hooker despite the return of Scott Lawson from international duty.

Will James and Dave Attwood are the locks with Peter Buxton, Jake Boer and skipper Gareth Delve forming the back row.
