GLOUCESTER Rugby welcome back internationals Marco Bortolami, Gareth Delve, Scott Lawson and Mike Tindall to their starting line up with Leeds Carnegie the latest visitors to Kingsholm in the Guinness Premiership on Saturday afternoon (3pm).

The quartet, in addition to Alasdair Dickinson who is named on the bench, all missed out on the LV= Cup final last weekend against Northampton as they were away on RBS Six Nations duty but are back to boost the Gloucester squad.

Alex Brown and Tim Molenaar are both ruled out with knocks picked up in the game against the Saints so the return of Bortolami and Tindall, in particular, is a timely one.

Those changes, notwithstanding, it's a similar looking line up to the one that lined up at Sixways last weekend with Scott Lawson and Gareth Delve coming in for Olivier Azam and Adam Eustace respectively.

The Leeds game will represent a tough challenge for Gloucester according to Head Coach Bryan Redpath with the Yorkshire team currently in a good run of form.

"In their last seven games, they've won five and lost two. They've been very competitive and one of the form sides in the Premiership. They're very workmanlike with a huge team ethic and they've picked up their points."

"Credit to Neil Back and Andy Key up there because they've done really well. If you disrespect them at all, they will willingly take you on. It'll be a tough game, of that there's no question."

The fixture against Leeds is followed by a midweek trip to Newcastle before a return to Kingsholm to take on Saracens next Saturday and Redpath knows he has to marshall his resources carefully.

"We have to be careful not to use people just for the sake of it because we've got three games in eight days. We have to be smart and pick our strongest team for each game, the fittest and best players available for that game."

"With seven guaranteed games left to play, I won't risk people."
