The first home team news of the season has just been released, in advance of Friday night's match at Edgeley Park against Saracens. Tickets are, this blog believes, still available. Buy one. See us there. We will be the ones in the Sharks jerseys, shouting "Saaaayulll".
Without further ado - here is the team news for the sharks, direct from Sharks HQ, Edgeley Park:
Rory Lamont, Sebastien Bruno and Andrew Sheridan all return the starting fifteen after missing out on last weeks win at Newcastle Falcons. Rory Lamont lines up on the right wing in place of Mark Cueto. Sebastien Bruno is named as hooker in place of Neil Briggs and Andrew Sheridan takes the place of Lionel Faure. Cueto, Briggs and Faure are named among the replacements. Director of Rugby Philippe Saint Andre has also rotated the squad in that Richard Wigglesworth starts at scrum half, and Brent Cockbain starts at Lock, with Dwayne Peel and Dean Schofield on the bench.
Team: Mathew Tait, Rory Lamont, Luke McAlister, Lee Thomas, David Doherty, Charlie Hodgson, Richard Wigglesworth, Andrew Sheridan, Sebastien Bruno, Eifion Roberts, Chris Jones, Brent Cockbain, Luke Abraham, Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe, Sebastien Chabal
Replacements: Neil Briggs, Lionel Faure, Dean Schofield, Sean Cox, Dwayne Peel, Mark Cueto, Chris Bell
Philippe said, “We started well with a victory at Newcastle but tomorrow evening’s game against Saracens will be very tough. I have a lot of respect for Eddie Jones who not only coached Australia but did a great job with South Africa in last years World Cup. We want to return to winning ways at Edgeley Park after the London Irish defeat in May. We have a very talented squad here at the club and yet again I have had to leave players out of the Matchday 22. All my players know they need to be at the top of their game to keep their place in the team.”
