Sale have announced their team. It looks an okay team. So, it
looks as though they were ready and willing to play on Sunday.
Here is their announcement:
Following a confirmed 19 positive COVID 19 cases at the club
last week, Steve Diamond’s squad options are in short supply,
however the club are able to field a COVID compliant matchday
squad for the fixture.
Valery Morozov, Cameron Neild and Ross Harrison make up the
front row for the Sharks highly stakes clash with Worcester
tomorrow evening, with Morozov making the switch to tighthead
prop for the first time since joining the club.
Jean-Luc du Preez and Matt Postlethwaite combine to form a
powerful lock partnership for tomorrow’s match, with the Sharks
deploying a familiar back row of Jono Ross, Tom Curry and Daniel
du Preez for the rescheduled fixture.
Will Cliff and Robert du Preez link up in the half back roles,
the trusted pair know each other well after a string of solid
performances together throughout early stages of the 19/20
season gave the Sharks a platform for success early in the
campaign.
Premiership stalwart Cliff and Springbok du Preez are joined in
the back line by Sam Hill and Sam James, who take their places
in the midfield after combining for 60 minutes during the
Sharks’ clash with Northampton Saints last Tuesday. Marland
Yarde, Denny Solomona and Luke James complete an exciting back
line for Sale ahead of Wednesday night’s match.
*Subject to Sale Sharks entire squad undergoing further COVID 19
testing on Tuesday 6th October, If the club feel it is not safe
to play or receive one additional positive test, Sale Sharks
will forfeit their Gallagher Premiership Round 22 match with
Worcester Warriors in order to ensure the health and safety of
all concerned.

8 more positive Covid tests at Sale, and they have forfeited the
game against Worcester.

I can't help feeling Sale have been at best trying to con the
authorities in rearranging the match or to blame Worcs for
cancelling but they had the problem all along. they have tried
to cheat the system

Shows Worcester's objection to playing at the weekend was a good
call.
