Now Rugby — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 15:54:30 +0000

Sale Sharks have named their squad for the Aviva Premiership Rugby Round 19 game against Northampton Saints at Franklins Gardens tomorrow, kick off 2.30 p.m.

David Seymour, who returned from injury off the bench against Leeds Carnegie last week, makes his first start since October 31st. Rob Miller has recovered from the injury that caused his late withdrawal against London Wasps in March, and takes his place on the bench.

Sharks:

Nick Macleod; Ben Cohen, Chris Bell, Kyle Tonetti, Mark Cueto (capt); Charlie Hodgson, Dwayne Peel; Lee Imiolek, Neil Briggs, Henry Thomas, Chris Jones, Wame Lewaravu, James Gaskell, David Seymour, Sisaro Koyamaibole.

Replacements:

Marc Jones, Eifion Roberts, Jack Forster, Nic Rouse, Neil McMillan, Will Cliff, Rob Miller, Iain Thornley.

Sharks’ Executive Director of Sport Steve Diamond said, “Over a period of three years, I recruited many of the players who have done so well for Northampton Saints. They may have hit a lean patch earlier this year, but are sure to benefit from the return of their international players, as they showed in the big win against London Wasps last Sunday. I fully expect the Saints to have a strong end to the season, including a good run in the Heineken Cup.”

Sharks team to face Wasps – Sheriden back in training

Sale Sharks Director of Rugby Kingsley Jones has announced his team to play London Wasps at Edgeley Park on Friday evening. There is a slight doubt over Lee Thomas who has been suffering with a hamstring problem. If Lee fails a fitness test his place will be taken by David Bishop

Kingsley said, ” It’s a quick turnaround this week following the win at Leeds on Sunday. I am delighted to welcome back Mark Cueto and Mathew Tait and have rotated the squad in several positions. We have five big games coming up in quick succession starting with this Friday’s game and I am sure that all my squad will feature at some stage. Wasps had a good start to the campaign and I am sure they will be looking to make up some lost ground after defeats to Leeds and Saracens. Wasps are one of the best sides in the Guinness Premiership and we need to respect them for the whole 80 minutes. We need to be patient too as we were at Leeds and if we show the same character I am sure it will be a great game.”
