Newcastle Falcons have named their side for Friday night’s friendly match at northern rivals Sale Sharks. The 7.45pm kick-off in Salford sees consultant director of rugby Steve Diamond taking charge of his first game since joining the Falcons, with an extended squad and rolling replacements. Philip van der Walt (pictured) packs down at second row in a side captained by Callum Chick, with Jamie Blamire starting at hooker.

Argentina pair Matias Orlando and Matias Moroni form the centre partnership as the Falcons play their first game since January 27, with Diamond getting a useful look at his squad ahead of their Gallagher Premiership return at Exeter Chiefs on Saturday March 23.

“I’m looking forward to Friday, and I know the players are,” said the Falcons boss.
