When the new Gallagher Premiership Rugby season gets under way on Friday 31st August – Bristol host Bath – a host of stars will be donning new colours for the very first time.

All 12 Gallagher Premiership Rugby clubs – including Gloucester – have been busy revamping their squads in preparation for the big kick-off, and swathes of top-level talent has entered the League.

British & Irish Lion and ex-Hartpury College student Alex Cuthbert has joined 2017 champions Exeter, Chris Ashton has returned to these shores after joining Sale Sharks, while All Black Charles Piutau has signed with new-boys Bristol Bears to name just a few.

There has also been plenty of business conducted between Premiership clubs, with James Haskell swapping Wasps for Northampton Saints, experienced prop Logovi’i Mulipola moving north from Leicester Tigers to join Newcastle Falcons, and exciting youngster Nathan Earle arriving at Harlequins from Saracens.
