WHILE Gloucester Rugby did not have any players in the England squad for the Autumn Internationals, Cherry & Whites director of rugby George Skivington is convinced he has some of the most exciting young English talent in the Gallagher Prem coming through the ranks.

- JACK TOZER & JOHN EVELY

Gloucester beat Harlequins 26-15 at Kingsholm on Saturday to record their first success of the league campaign, and 23-year-old centre Seb Atkinson and 20-year-old Ben Redshaw were two of the shining lights. Add to that 23-year-old one-cap centre Will Joseph, 21-year-old Afolabi Fasogbon, and the currently injured Arthur Clark, 23, and you have a new generation of stars pushing for international honours.

Two tries from Redshaw and one each from Lewis Ludlow on his 250th appearance and Ollie Thorley on his 150th for the club steered the Cherry & Whites to victory at the weekend.
