'Leicester are favourites'published at 19:43 British Summer Time 2 September 2016
Gloucester v Leicester (19:45 BST)

Ex-England fly-half at Kingsholm
Leicester are favourites because of the quality and balance they have across the whole team.
They have out and out pace in Veainu and JP Pieterson on the wings, power and guile in the centre and a bit of devil at half back with Freddie Burns in an intriguing head to head with his brother Billy.
Up front Tom Youngs leads the charge as captain and I expect Tigers will fancy their chances in the scrum with quality on the pitch and the bench.
