Sale v Harlequins </div>

GUINNESS PREMIERSHIP
Venue: Edgeley Park Date: Friday, 17 April Kickoff - 19:45

Sale welcome back France forward Sebastien Chabal, who has missed the last six matches because of injury and international commitments.

England wing Mark Cueto is suspended, but Sale know a win would guarantee them a Heineken Cup place next season.

Harlequins duo Nick Evans and Chris Malone were both injured in last week's Heineken Cup defeat by Leinster, so Waisea Luveniyali starts at fly-half.

Full-back Mike Brown is also out, so his place goes to Tom Williams.

Sale: Macleod, Doherty, M Tait, Tuilagi, Ripol, Hodgson, Peel, Sheridan, Bruno, Roberts, Chabal, Schofield, White, Briggs, Lobbe (capt).
Replacements: Turner, Faure, Jones, D Tait, Wigglesworth, Keil, Kuadey.

Harlequins: Jones, Botha, Ross, Percival, Robson, Robshaw, Skinner (capt), Easter, Gomarsall, Luveniyali, Monye, Barry, Tiesi, Strettle, T Williams.
Replacements: Fuga, Lambert, J Evans, Guest, Care, Stegman, Turner-Hall.

21-6 with nine minutes to go.

Come on!

 

[An Tarbh]

how crucial could that try be for Sale's playoff hopes, Bath winning at Newcastle is by no means a given and the quick turnaround for Gloucester may see them caught out by Worcester.

 

[Sir Speedy]

As long as:

- Bath get nothing tomorrow and get only four points next week.
- Gloucester only get five points from their next two games.
- Sale secure a bp against the Saints.

A play-off spot is assured.
... D:

They've made it too difficult for themselves anyway, and it will be on a Leicester-last-year calibre of not deserving the play-off place if they do actually get it.

I'm going to the Saints match!
