Deacon scored his first try for his new club in Saturday's win over Harlequins

Brett Deacon has called on the Shed's help to enable Gloucester to beat his old club Leicester at Kingsholm.

The 28-year-old back row moved from the Tigers in the summer and feels the way to beat them is to match them up front.

He told BBC Gloucestershire: "Leicester have always prided themselves on their defence, it's going to be a big battle, they're a good forward pack.

"We need to take the game to them and not respect them too much, we need to get the Shed behind us for that one."
