Tigers v Sale Sharks

[Soggypitch]

Good side. Disappointed no Toomua and would be nice to have an injury update on him.

Surprised Matt Tait is not in the 23 given his form and versatility. I suppose Simmons must be covering FB and SH. He seems to have overtaken White in the pecking order.

Overall though a better team than I was expecting, so I'm now expecting a win rather than hoping for one!

[Chobbsy]

That's good then

[Roly]

Good side and certainly good enough to get the result.

Never been convinced by either Barrow or Kitchener at lock though.

Timely return for some of the players. A tidy squad, should get at least 4 Pts. They will need to control Faf well to stop a handy Sharks backline for functioning.

Missed it on first reading.....Mike Fitzgerald is back! That's good news for anyone who wants our locks to feel a bit more challenged for a starting spot!

Has he had any game time? I'm surprised to see him on the bench if not and not spending a bit of time getting match fit in the Anglo Welsh

Strong Sale side, I'm expecting a close game.

For those who seemed to have missed it there has been an update on Toomua

Thanks for that. Seems optimistic that Manu will be back for Munster if he's only just started running, but good news all round.

No game time AFAIK. Wasn't expecting him back until December - originally said 3 months but he's beaten that by a couple of weeks at least.

A very good Sale side

Strong Sale side, I'm expecting a close game.

Could have been stronger, they are missing:

Byron Mcguigan (Scotland) TJ Ioane (Samoa) Halani Aulika (Tonga) AJ MacGinty (USA) Johnny Leota (Injured) Josh Beaumont (Injured) Tom Curry (Injured) Will Addison (injured)

But clearly we're missing a few aswell so I am not disagreeing it may be close.

[TigerCam]

Disappointing it is not on the TV as I can't make it to WR this w/end for family reasons plus the RMT are on strike on Sunday so the trains are not certain to run? Seem £60K basic is not enough - I knew I was in the wrong job!

Rohan Janse van Rensburg also yet to figure...
