Irishman Frank Murphy, who replaced Ellis against Bristol, is set to start against Gloucester, while 17-year-old academy player Ben Youngs - the son of a former England scrum-half, Nick - could be on the bench.
But Leicester quickly worked their way back into the game and they took the lead through scrum-half Frank Murphy, in for the injured Harry Ellis, who just managed to bundle his way over for a try which was eventually given by the television referee.
Frank Wilson, now the recruiting coordinator and running backs coach at LSU, said he has known Green-Ellis since he was athletic director for the New Orleans public schools and Green-Ellis was a high school star there.
