+1 lets just hope both teams manage to keep 15 on the field.
On the team selections it's interesting both teams have gone pretty much full strength. I was half expecting Sale to rest a few. Just glad that we didn't pre-empt that and pick a weaker squad.
Very pleased to see Big Dave back, he is Mr consistent and we will need his size and power to cope with a strong Sale pack. If we can match their pack I feel we have a better back line. We really need to resource our rucks though as Tom Curry is great over the ball, we don't want a repeat of last weeks first half! Sale will not be as easy to claw back!

Looks like we're going all guns blazing for this one...pity I can't be there...self-help talk on the other side of the Taimar but fingers crossed!

It’s sad when you look at two great teams, and what could be a superb game of rugby, then think it’s Karl Dickson.
Let’s hope he has a good day, or our teams do not give him reason to make mistakes. Can’t do worse than last weeks Tigers ref.
Just stay fit for next week Mr Cuthbert, you are a pleasure to watch when your in your stride.
Last weeks escaped was the best sort of kick we needed for this week.

Dickson ex Quins scrum half has a bad track record of understanding and handling the dark arts of the scrum. A disappointing selection.

On Karl Dickson, we share your terror!!

I’m assuming that Mr Vermuelen is injured?

Caged and being fed a little red meat!

Need a much better second half. Sale have us at the moment.

Not a good look at half time. We are being physically bullied and our cause is not helped by the officials' reluctance to police the off side line. Curry bros outstanding!!
