An explosive start to this game as Gloucester run some lovely lines before Billy Burns is absolutely flattened by the Wasps defence.

He bounces back though and his chip over the top dribbles into touch.

Wasps line-out on their own five-metre line and the ball is collected beautifully by Kearnen Myall.

This is hectic.

Gloucester secure a difficult line-out under huge pressure, but they're not out of trouble yet.

They'll have the put-in at the scrum deep inside their own 22.

Excellent work by Gloucester at the breakdown. 

Some ferocious tackling by Richard Hibbard, who might have been a useful addition to Wales' defensive line in Cardiff today!

But he's won his side a penalty and another Welshman, James Hook, gives Gloucester the lead.

We've got a slightly slippery surface here at Kingsholm but the drizzle has subsided, good news for running rugby.

Gloucester win the first penalty of the day but Wasps steal the line-out in a scrappy start to the game.

Billy Burns gets us under way as Wasps look to move to the top of the table.

The form guide suggests an away win for Wasps but Gloucester could well upset the odds.

Here we go...

But let's turn our attention back to the Premiership now as the Kingsholm crowd take their seats.

Nine tries for England who were rampant at Twickenham this afternoon and run out convincing winners over Fiji.

Three tries for the visitors though, so things to work on for the men in white. But Eddie Jones will be happy with that performance.

Wales survive by the skin of their teeth.

Sam Davies' last-minute drop-goal hands the Welsh victory in Cardiff, but by the smallest of margins.

A lucky escape but I doubt there will be celebrations in the dressing room. 

Wasps, without England trio Elliot Daly, Joe Launchbury and Nathan Hughes, make eight changes from the side that beat Newcastle 31-6 in their last Premiership game on 30 October.

Danny Cipriani returns to start at 10, moving Jimmy Gopperth to centre.

In the pack, Phil Swainston and Tommy Taylor return to the front row following their time in the England camp.

Wasps: Miller; Wade, Eastmond, Gopperth, Bassett; Cipriani, Robson; Mullan (capt), Taylor, Swainston, Symons, Myall, Gaskell, Young, Thompson.

Replacements: Cruse, Bristow, Moore, Rowlands, Johnson, Simpson, Halai, Leiua.

England number eight Ben Morgan starts for Gloucester after agreeing a new contract with the Cherry and Whites.

Scrum-half Willi Heinz, who has also signed a new deal, captains the hosts.

Gloucester: Hook; Sharples, Scott, Atkinson, Purdy; Burns, Heinz (capt); McAllister, Hibbard, Afoa; Savage, Galarza; Ludlow, Rowan, Morgan.

Replacements: Matu'u, Thomas, Hohneck, Latta, Kvesic, Braley, Protheroe, Thorley.

Wasps have not won away from home since beating Northampton 20-15 on 24 September. But since then their only Premiership defeat was the 30-14 loss at Saracens in round six.

Gloucester have lost their past four home Premiership games and have have never lost five in a row at Kingsholm in Premiership Rugby.

Wasps have won on only three of their past 10 Premiership visits to Kingsholm, including last season's 13-10 defeat in the corresponding fixture.  

Over on the international side of the game, England are looking rather comfortable against Fiji as their revival under Eddie Jones continues. It's currently England 53-15 Fiji with 15 minutes remaining.

Wales, on the other hand, have found things slightly tougher against the 2015 World Cup heroes Japan. It's not inspiring rugby from the Welshmen in Cardiff, and the crowd aren't happy. 

It's Wales 27-23 Japan and this one's going down to the wire.

So, Bath set the scene on Friday night by going top of the table.

Victory for Wasps at Gloucester this afternoon, however, would be enough to move them to the summit.

Oh, but the potential game of leap-frog doesn't end there.

Saracens also have the chance of returning to the top if they get the better of Sale tomorrow. Things are tight at this early stage of the campaign.

Stephen Myler kicked six penalties as Northampton came from behind at Sixways to end Worcester's unbeaten home Premiership record this season. 

Warriors led 10-9 at the break after Wynand Olivier cleverly created a gap for winger Dean Hammond to score.

But Myler landed five more penalties before Worcester scored again with a minute left through Bryce Heem.

Worcester earned a last-minute penalty from halfway, but Jamie Shillcock's kick fell just short.

In front of a record crowd at The Rec, Bath went top of the Premiership with a scrappy win in the first league derby with Bristol in seven years.

Full-back Tom Homer slotted three penalties and a conversion to add to Jack Wilson's try to earn Todd Blackadder's side four crucial points.

Bristol battled hard, with three penalties from young stand-off Billy Searle earning them a bonus point. But they're now seven points adrift at the bottom of the table.

It was billed at the 'Big Night Oot', oh and how it was with 8,061 turning out to watch Newcastle run Exeter close until half-time.

In the end, however, Exeter recorded a four-try bonus-point victory, ending a run of three Premiership defeats.

Keeping with the Fijian theme of things in English rugby after this afternoon's international at Twickenham, we are coming at you with an exotic greeting.

Basically, it's a hello from us as we bring you domestic action from Kingsholm where Gloucester entertain Wasps in the Premiership.

Stay with us for every hit, kick and try of this one.
