Saracens name team to face Sale Sharks

SaracensSaracens travel to Sale Sharks on Saturday and have named an unchanged starting team for the Aviva Premiership clash.

Director of Rugby Mark McCall selects the same XV that opened the season at Twickenham last week with a 40-3 victory against London Irish.

The only changes come on the bench where Alistair Hargreaves and Owen Farrell have both shaken off minor knocks to be named in the 23. Second row Hargreaves will make his Aviva Premiership debut should he take to the field. The other change sees Jared Saunders named among the replacement props.
