Gloucester to Rotate Squad for Remainder of Premiership Campaign, Aim to “Do Some Damage” Next Season

Gloucester Rugby Director of Rugby George Skivington has revealed that the team will continue to rotate their squad for the remainder of the Premiership campaign in order to prepare for a strong showing next season.

Currently sitting in ninth place in the table with three games left to play, Gloucester has already been ruled out of contention for a top four finish. Skivington emphasized the importance of managing the squad smartly and giving players the right opportunities at the right time.

“We want to be in a position to compete week-to-week and I think there is an opportunity for us in the back end of this season to make sure we’re in a position with a whole squad to do that next year,” Skivington stated in an interview with BBC Radio Gloucestershire.

The Cherry and Whites have faced a challenging season, with a club-record nine consecutive losses from October to January essentially ending their playoff hopes. Despite this, Skivington remains focused on building for the future and instilling a sense of pride in the team.

Looking ahead to next season, Gloucester could see significant changes in their lineup with the addition of players like Wales internationals Tomos Williams and Gareth Anscombe, as well as Racing 92 winger Christian Wade. The club has yet to confirm whether former England winger Jonny May will remain with the team.

As Gloucester looks to finish the current season on a positive note and build towards a more competitive future, fans can expect to see a mix of familiar faces and new talent taking the field in the coming weeks.
