With Gloucester Rugby announcing the signings of South African forward duo Franco Mostert and Ruan Dreyer today, we take a look at some of the additions they have made so far as they prepare for life in next season’s European Rugby Champions Cup. Danny Cipriani 30-year-old fly-half Danny Cipriani has moved to Kingsholm Stadium from Wasps after making a major impact at the Ricoh Arena. The England international – who won the European Cup with Wasps in 2007 – has scored 336 points in 50 European matches and will be looking to channel his experience into their 2018/19 campaign. Cipriani made a return to the England fold last week in their 63-45 defeat to the Barbarians, coming off the bench after Gloucester teammate Henry Trinder went off with a head injury. Gerbrandt Grobler Former Munster and Racing 92 lock Gerbrandt Grobler looks an excellent acquisition for Gloucester. The 26-year-old South African featured four times in Racing 92’s European run two seasons ago, before moving to the Irish province who brought him on as a replacement in their quarter-final victory over RC Toulon and subsequent semi-final defeat to Racing last season. Speaking via Gloucester’s official website in March, head coach Johan Ackermann agreed that the experience of Grobler can benefit his side, saying: “He will bring the benefit of his experience from those top European clubs to Gloucester and his athleticism and skillset are well suited to our style of play. https://twitter.com/gloucesterrugby/status/1001750803571511299 Matt Banahan 31-year-old utility-back Matt Banahan joins Gloucester after a successful 12 years with West Country rivals Bath Rugby, helping them win the Challenge Cup in his maiden season with the club in 2008. The England international has featured 19 times for his country and has a prolific record in European club rugby, scoring 28 tries in 54 matches. Jaco Kriel A back-row forward on the way to Gloucester next season is former Lions flanker Jaco Kriel. Kriel will reunite with head coach Johan Ackermann, who previously worked with him at the Super Rugby side. The Springbok international missed the current Super Rugby season with a shoulder injury but is expected to be fully fit for Gloucester’s first European Cup campaign in five seasons
