Wow thats some team, but usually Sale also go strongly into this comp so we are obviously going for it.

[trendylfj]

Great 23 that! Is this on live anywhere?

[Darc Tiger]

Sale are lightly stronger than how they lined up last week, but I'll be disappointed if we don't get the win with the team we've named.

[Darc Tiger]

Interesting how many minutes Ilione is getting.

[Scott1]

No Cracknell again,should we be worried?

[Rugbygramps]

It would appear from that we are going strong against premiership sides and rotating more against championship sides.
Been mentioned that Cracknell has been photographed training, no Cronin in the 23 though

You wouldn’t say many of that team would get in Sales strongest side, there seems to be an absence of any South Africans

No Cracknell again,should we be worried?

I think possibly a bit, all others yet to appear are coming back from injuries

[MCC1964]

No Cracknell again,should we be worried?

No.. he was actively training in the recent Tigers Eyes video

No.. he was actively training in the recent Tigers Eyes video

Likely carrying a knock or nearing a return following an injury then.

Will be interesting to see Ernst van Rhyn, former junior Springbok captain

Ah your knowledge has definitely trumped mine. Other than this young man there seems to be none of the usual South African names

At least seven of the Tigers starting 15 would probably not be playing if everyone was available, this selection shows our strength.in depth for this season. Several of the players in the 23 will.present a challenge to the World Cup guys to regain their places and we have a few not away or included at Sale who will also be pushing for a place.
I am really looking forward to this season.
