Sale Sharks Team News

Sale Sharks Director of Rugby Kingsley Jones has selected his side for Friday evening’s Guinness Premiership game, at home to Gloucester (KO 7-45pm)

Kingsley said, “There were some pleasing signs in the game last week at Northampton. We fought back well in the second half and were not that far away at the end. Gloucester are in a false position near the foot of the table and I am sure that after their defeat last week at home to Wasps, they will be ready for a real scrap tomorrow night.”

Lee Thomas returns for the game and Dwayne Peel will be at scrum half.

Team: Nick Macleod, Ben Cohen, Andy Tuilagi, Lee Thomas, Marika Vakacegu, Charlie Hodgson, Dwayne Peel, Eifion Roberts, Marc Jones, Jack Forster, Brent Cockbain, Dean Schofield, Carl Fearns, Luke Abraham, Sisa Koyamaibole

Replacements: Mahonri Schwalger, Gavin Kerr, Rob O’Donnell, James Gaskell, David Seymour, Chris Leck, Jonny Kennedy, Oriol Ripol
