Gloucester will field the same starting XV that beat Bath when they face Leicester in the Guinness Premiership semi-final on Sunday.

Concerns over their injured trio of Mike Tindall, Anthony Allen and Akapusi Qera have eased and all three will feature against the reigning champions.

Tindall limped out of Saturday's 8-6 win over Bath with an ankle injury, while Allen and Qera have both recovered from shoulder complaints in time.

Head coach Dean Ryan (pictured) said: "In a defensive performance of last weekend's quality and intensity there were always going to be question marks over certain individuals but we are obviously very pleased everyone has come through.

"We tried to get most of our preparation and classroom work done to give people enough time to recover in the early part of the week because we had some bumps and bruises.

"The play-offs are a brutal environment but we are learning to operate at a higher level and that is what we must remember. Leicester are an outstanding side because they have been in this situation many times before and it will be nothing new to them.

"But we are in a confident frame of mind given the form and results we have produced in the last few weeks and we must take that forward into Sunday.

"It is up to us to go and produce another performance and if we can do that then I am sure we can create a threat."

Meanwhile, Leicester have made one change to their line-up for the clash at Kingsholm.

Samoa international Alesana Tuilagi comes in after injury to Johne Murphy, but the other 21 players on duty for the thrilling victory over Harlequins at Welford Road last Saturday keep their places for the trip.

Head coach Marcelo Loffreda said: "The team showed great resilience and character in the victory last Saturday and I think the players can take a lot of confidence from that.

"I said we were not going to give up while we still had a chance to qualify for the play-offs. Now it is in our own hands again and we have another opportunity.

"Gloucester have had a good season, they have a strong team and they will have a lot of confidence, but now it all depends on what happens in this game."
