Scotland's inspirational World Cup captain Greig Laidlaw make his first Gloucester Rugby start of the season, at Wasps in the Premiership today (1500ko).
Laidlaw starts at scrum-half in a new-look Gloucester half-back partnership with Bath-born Billy Burns, 21, starting his first game of the season at fly-half. Wales' James Hook moves to inside centre.
Elliott Stooke returns to partner Tom Savage in the second row with Sione Kalamafoni reverting to his usual position of blindside flanker.
Both teams will be looking to round off the opening phase of Aviva Premiership matches with a victory before heading into European action.
Coventry-based Wasps have won just one of their past five Premiership matches while Gloucester are looking for their first league win at the Ricoh Arena.
