Gloucestershire make five personnel changes plus a positional switch for Saturday’s final County Championship group game with Hertfordshire at Clifton, kick-off 2.15pm

Several players unavailable for the match with Surrey are included although veteran Peter Buxton drops out of the squad.

Skipper Mike Wilcox continues at outside half with Loughborough student Joe Carolan included at fullback.

Leo Fielding moves out to the wing to bring in the impressive Seb Rodwell at centre whilst in the pack Sam Wilkes returns at hooker and a new second row sees Gavin Curry and Roger Birkin paired.

Newent’s Ross Webb makes his first start after two impressive performances from the bench. Jack Spencer and Liam Hemming return to the squad and are selected on the bench.
