George North led the rout as Northampton opened their Aviva Premiership title defence by making a mockery of rebuilt Gloucester's optimism for the new season.
Wales star and new Gloucester recruit Richard Hibbard has billed Friday night's Aviva Premiership season opener against champions Northampton as "a brilliant game to start with."
Leicester have signed five new players including one of the country's brightest young talents in Gloucester fly-half Freddie Burns, according to Tigers boss Richard Cockerill.
Further to this week’s departure of Director of Rugby Nigel Davies, it has now been revealed that Gloucester’s Defence Coach Paul Moriarty is also set to leave the club in a complete staff re-shuffle.
