Gloucester Rugby will be looking to bounce back from their thrashing by Leinster Rugby when they host the unbeaten Irish province in Round 3 of the Heineken Champions Cup on Saturday. Gloucester fielded an inexperienced side in Dublin in Round 2 and were subsequently dealt a 57-0 drubbing by the four-time champions. But the Gallagher Premiership outfit are poised to welcome back several established stars for the reverse fixture and have already showcased their threat at Kingsholm Stadium with a 22-17 Round 1 win over Union Bordeaux-Bègles, which has left them eighth in Pool A. Leinster, last season’s runners-up, have started this season’s competition in superb fashion, picking up maximum points from their opening games to top the pool, with their other victory an impressive 42-10 triumph at Racing 92. Since Round 2 of the Heineken Champions Cup, Gloucester have won once in three Premiership games, while Leinster have marched to three straight victories in the United Rugby Championship. The match kicks off at 13:00 (UK & Irish time) and will be broadcast by ITV, BT Sport, beIN SPORTS, SuperSport and FloRugby. https://twitter.com/ChampionsCup/status/1613083856185212941 Key quote: Gloucester No.8 Ben Morgan: “It’s a hard place to come - they’re going to have to be on their mettle.
