Kilcoyne reveals Reds braced for backlash

HEINEKEN CUP POOL 6:

The Irish province visits Kingsholm this weekend for a must-win Heineken Cup clash against a confidence-sapped side whose scrum was obliterated last Saturday by Saracens in a 29-8 away win that has led to much soul-searching in Gloucester this week.

That will manifest itself, expects Ireland loosehead prop Kilcoyne, in a much-improved effort from the Cherry and Whites, who also expect to be boosted by the return of first-choice tighthead Rupert Harden.
