News roundup
Well, for some reason the club still have not annouced the signing of Dwayne Peel. Perhaps his medical is not going well? Perhaps our home-grown scrum halves are too good to be ousted?
The club have lost Nick Johnson, fitness coach, following a contract dispute.
There are very timid rumours that Charlie Hodgson might be injured.... maybe that is why, with just hours until the next KO we have not had a team annoncement. That should be published within half an hour, so check back.

Team's up!
The following just in from Sale HQ including an very interesting looking centre partnership:
Saint-Andre, whose side currently sit atop Pool 4 and are already assured of a quarter-final berth, has labelled the clash as a 'must-win' game as they battle Worcester and Bath for one of the top two seedings.
Ahead of the game Saint-Andre commented, “We have taken maximum points so far in our pool but we need to play well tomorrow and we aim to win the game.
"Both Bath and Worcester are in a similar position to us and there are three of us wanting the two lucrative top two seedings. We welcome back Rory Lamont for the game after a few weeks out and Dean Schofield will captain the side, but we may have to play without Andrew Sheridan who has been suffering with the flu. Andrew will travel with us and I may include him in the 22.
"I have also named a strong bench as the game will be a tough one and I expect a full 80 minute battle, making the inter-game changes crucial.”
Sale Sharks: Mark Cueto, Rory Lamont, Chris Bell, Luke McAlister, Oriol Ripol, Charlie Hodgson, Sililo Martens, Lionel Faure, Scott Lawson, Eifion Roberts, Chris Jones, Dean Schofield (Captain), JM Fernandez Lobbe, Magnus Lund, Sebastien Chabal
Replacements: Sebastien Bruno, Ben Evans, Sean Cox, Jason White, Richard Wigglesworth, Rudi Keil, Chris Mayor

Rumours and news
Well the buzz of the week has been the apparent signing of Wales scrummie Dwayne Peel from the Scarlets. Peel and the Scarlets have merrily held press conferences on the matter (with Peel, oddly, admitting the move was in order to live abroad), yet no word at all from the Sharks themselves. We can only assume the delay is to do with a medical examination, perhaps on Peel's poorly shoulder.
Also, Nick Johnson has left the Sharks. Maybe it was he that was supposed to check on the shoulder?
Rumours abound thanks to the Peel arrival: is Sililo Martens leaving Sharks to go to Wales? Will Wigglesworth become second choice scrum half? What of the marvel that is Ben Foden? Sharks fans to a man (woman?) want Foden to stay, be it at 9, 11, 14 or 15.
There is still a persistent rumbling about the brothers Lobbe too: Ignatio seems to wish to move back home to Argentina (hence the arrival of Brent Cockbain?) and he brother Juan may well stick around to start a familt and get a green card.
Seb Bruno has had interesting news too, with the announcement that France captain Ibanez is stepping down from international rugby. Bruno is reported to have said that he nevertheless expects not to appear again for France and will end his professional days playing club rugger for Sale Sharks.
Team news for Montpellier later today, all going well.

Replacements: Marc Jones, Eifion Roberts, Chris Jones, Chris Day, Chris Mayor, Charlie Hodgson, Julien Laharrague
Richard Wigglesworth carries on his fascinating week by being selected at 10, where to be honest he has done the Sharks proud in the past. Bell at last gets a run out. Briggsy has another shot at hooker. But whats this? Cox starting at 6 for the Sharks? Well, it should be a very intruguing game.

And the London Irish team to face Sale?
This just in from Dave Swanton:
Bob Casey returns to lead London Irish in its Guinness Premiership match with Sale Sharks at Madejski Stadium on Sunday. The match kicks-off at 3.00pm.
The return of the experienced club captain, who missed last week’s game through illness, provides a major boost for the team as it prepares to face an in-form Sharks XV. Casey is one of four changes to the Exiles’ team that started against Leicester last weekend. The others see Eoghan Hickey taking over at fly half as Shane Geraghty moves to inside centre; Tonga Lea’aetoa comes in at tight head prop for the injured Richard Skuse and Richard Thorpe starts at No 8.
Geraghty takes over at inside centre from Seilala Mapusua who broke his right hand in last Saturday’s game at Welford Road. The Samoan international had an operation on New Year’s Eve and will be out of action for six to eight weeks.
“Sale are a ‘top four’ team with a large number of world class players in their squad,” said Brian Smith, London Irish Director of Rugby. “With the likes of Sebastien Chabal, Mark Cueto, Sebastien Bruno, Luke McAlister and Andrew Sheridan fit and ready for action it is no surprise that Philippe Saint Andre’s team has its eyes on the Premiership title.
“Sunday’s game is our first home fixture of the New Year and we’re looking to give our supporters a big performance. Our team has prepared well this week and knows that on our day we can beat anyone in the competition.
“Our boys worked their socks off against Leicester last weekend and we were unlucky to come away without any points. We’re confident we can do better on Sunday,” Smith concluded.

Bob Casey returns to lead London Irish in its Guinness Premiership match with Sale Sharks at Madejski Stadium on Sunday. The match kicks-off at 3.00pm.
The return of the experienced club captain, who missed last week’s game through illness, provides a major boost for the team as it prepares to face an in-form Sharks XV. Casey is one of four changes to the Exiles’ team that started against Leicester last weekend. The others see Eoghan Hickey taking over at fly half as Shane Geraghty moves to inside centre; Tonga Lea’aetoa comes in at tight head prop for the injured Richard Skuse and Richard Thorpe starts at No 8.
Geraghty takes over at inside centre from Seilala Mapusua who broke his right hand in last Saturday’s game at Welford Road. The Samoan international had an operation on New Year’s Eve and will be out of action for six to eight weeks.
“Sale are a ‘top four’ team with a large number of world class players in their squad,” said Brian Smith, London Irish Director of Rugby. “With the likes of Sebastien Chabal, Mark Cueto, Sebastien Bruno, Luke McAlister and Andrew Sheridan fit and ready for action it is no surprise that Philippe Saint Andre’s team has its eyes on the Premiership title.
“Sunday’s game is our first home fixture of the New Year and we’re looking to give our supporters a big performance. Our team has prepared well this week and knows that on our day we can beat anyone in the competition.
“Our boys worked their socks off against Leicester last weekend and we were unlucky to come away without any points. We’re confident we can do better on Sunday,” Smith concluded.

Team to play London Irish on Sunday
This just in from Dave Swanton:
Sale Sharks have named their side for Sunday’s Guinness Premiership game at London Irish. Included in the starting line up is Luke McAlister who missed the game at Leeds with a leg injury.
Julien Laharrague, Mark Cueto, Luke McAlister, Lee Thomas, Oriol Ripol, Charlie Hodgson, Richard Wigglesworth, Andrew Sheridan, Sebastien Bruno, Eifion Roberts, Chris Jones, Brent Cockbain, Jason White, Magnus Lund, Sebastien Chabal
Replacements From: Neil Briggs, Lionel Faure, Stuart Turner, Sean Cox, Dean Schofield, JM Fernandez Lobbe, Sililo Martens, Chris Mayor, Rudi Keil
Director of Rugby Philippe Saint Andre said, “ I will make my mind up over the bench at the team run on Saturday morning. It has been a very quick turn around this week having played on Sunday. This game will be the last Guinness Premiership game some of my players play in before the Six Nations and we are very keen to keep our recent winning form going. It will be tough though, London Irish are always difficult opponents, especially on their own ground.”
