Australia take on Gloucester this evening in the first of the midweek tour games.

Dean Mumm will lead the side at Kingsholm.

Don't think there's live coverage of this one as it's Champions League night.

Why in Bod's name isn't James Simpson-Daniel starting?

To be honest, given Gloucester's form at the minute I don't see this being even an entertaining match. But you never know.

Shame the Aussies aren't playing Northampton or London Irish or anyne with a bit of form (that isn't Sarries - sick of Australia vs South Africa long ago).
