Cockbain starts for Sharks

Lock Brent Cockbain, who came on as a replacement against Leicester Tigers last Sunday, is named in the starting fifteen for Sale Sharks’ visit to Leeds Carnegie on Sunday (3 p.m.).

Winger Rory Lamont, although recovered from the injury which led to his early departure in the same game, has not taken part in training this week and will not travel.

Sharks’ Director of Rugby Philippe Saint Andre said, “This is a big game for us, a tough place to visit. We know that Leeds will be competitive, but we are determined to maintain our momentum after the game against Leicester Tigers, and stay in a top four position.”

Sharks team:

Julien Laharrague; Mark Cueto, Chris Mayor, Luke McAlister, Oriol Ripol; Charlie Hodgson, Richard Wigglesworth; Lionel Faure, Scott Lawson, Stuart Turner, Brent Cockbain, Chris Jones, Jason White (captain), Magnus Lund, Sebastien Chabal.
