This in from Edgeley Park HQ:

Heineken Roundup
Two games in, and what a reversal of fortunes.
In Sale's group of death round 1 matches Munster struggled against Montauban, and barely scraped a win, whilst the Sharks were away to Claremont in France an romped home with a four try win.
The following week Munster visited Edgeley Park, and despite a sterling effort from the boys in blue, the result was Sale 16-24 Munster.

Heineken Cup - let the games commence
It all starts tonight.
Sale will be in action tomorrow, against a strong Clermont Auvergne side, away in France. Sale Sharks will field a slightly depleted team, with Richard Wigglesworth playing at fly-half. He has put in some pretty decent performances there in the past - notably replacing Daniel Larrechea in the season of doom.
Full Team from EP:
Rory Lamont, Mark Cueto, Luke McAlister, Lee Thomas, David Doherty, Richard Wigglesworth, Dwayne Peel, Lionel Faure, Neil Briggs, Eifion Roberts, Chris Jones, Kristian Ormsby, JM Fernandez Lobbe (Captain), Luke Abrahams, Sebastien Chabal
Replacements: Marc Jones, Stuart Turner, Jason White, Dean Schofield, Charlie Hodgson, Chris Bell, Rudi Keil
Director of Rugby Philippe Saint Andre said, “ Games don’t come any tougher than this. Clermont topped the table last year and have started well this season. They will attack from the start and we need to be ready for them. Its been a difficult week preparing for the game with Matthew Tait pulling out with a sore hamstring but both he and Andrew Sheridan should be fit to return for the Munster game.”
Also the Sale Sharks Supporters Club website is chock-a-block full of great information for Sale and Munster fans - check it out at www.salesupporters.co.uk
