Alex Sanderson has named his Sale Sharks side to face Harlequins
in the penultimate round of the 2020/21 Gallagher Premiership
season. The Sharks Director of Rugby includes Manu Tuilagi from
the start as he makes nine changes to his squad following an
emphatic victory over table-topping Bristol Bears last weekend.
Will-Griff John, Jono Ross and Rohan janse van Rensburg also
return to action after injury at the AJ Bell Stadium tomorrow
night.
Club stalwart Ross Harrison takes his place in the Sharks
starting line-up at loosehead prop, joining Akker van der Merwe
and Coenie Oosthuizen in a highly experienced front-row, while
Josh Beaumont returns to the second row alongside Jean-Luc du
Preez. The powerful Springbok back-row remains at lock following
a man of the match performance against Bristol.
Cameron Neild replaces Tom Curry at blindside flanker as the
British and Irish Lion is rotated ahead of the Sharks’ first
play-off appearance in fifteen years. Neild joins Ben Curry and
the imposing Daniel du Preez in the Sale back row.
Faf de Klerk and AJ MacGinty will conduct an electric Sharks
back line from half back as their partnership continues flourish
at the business end of the season. The pair have the devasting
power of Manu Tuilagi, complimented by the deft skillset of Sam
James at their disposal in midfield and a back three including
former Harlequin Marland Yarde alongside in-form Byron McGuigan
on the wings with Simon Hammersley at full back.
Curtis Langdon, Bevan Rodd and Will-Griff John act as front-row
replacements whilst Jean-Pierre du Preez and the returning Jono
Ross provide further cover for the forwards from the bench.
Will Cliff returns to cover Faf de Klerk, with the impressive
Robert du Preez acting as cover at fly-half. South African
powerhouse Rohan Janse van Rensburg also returns following a
month on the sidelines.

We can expect a bit of a battering, but its the right call to
rest key players.
Good to see a number of players back from injury.

It's not as weak as the Challenge Cup team, but that game taught
me not to get my hopes up. If it secures entertainment at The
Stoop against Newcastle and a strong team for the semi, then
it's the right call.

Hope we can avoid injuries, that's a strong Sale side.
Sanderson is clearly not wanting to suffer the ignominy of a
loss to Quins and all the attendant crowing and bad winmanship
:-)

Oohhhh this could be bloody. Let's hope we can put some doubt in
their minds. Plus side, Tom Curry isn't playing or Lood de
Jager.

Not expecting much at all from that lineup. Just hoping we avoid
injuries really.

A couple of quick Quins scores would make for an interesting
evening.

One thing I find interesting in this team selection is no Ross
Chisholm, we've decided to go with Oscar Beard on the wing which
I have no issue with but I now wonder what is Ross' role on the
squad?

At least we won’t be ungracious in victory.

It does make the decision to award him a contract extension even
more baffling.
