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.”
