Philippe Saint Andre has named his team for Sunday's Guinness Premiership game away to Newcastle Falcons.
Andrew Sheridan (Hamstring) and Rory Lamont (Arm) will both have fitness tests tomorrow (Saturday), but Sebastien Bruno (knee) definitely misses out. If Sheridan and Lamont prove their fitness they will be named among the replacements.
Philippe said, "This will be a tough game for us. Kingston Park has never been a happy hunting ground for us, but we hope to end our poor record there on Sunday.
"We have had a good pre season and we have had to upset a few players this weekend by not picking them. "
"The 22 involved on Sunday know that we have a good squad this year and competition for places will be intense, so they need to perform well to hold onto their jersey."
Sale Sharks Team:
Mathew Tait, Mark Cueto, Luke McAlister, Lee Thomas, David Doherty, Charlie Hodgson, Dwayne Peel, Lionel Faure, Neil Briggs, Eifion Roberts, Chris Jones, Dean Schofield, Luke Abraham, JM Fernandez Lobbe (Captain, Sebastien Chabal
Replacements: Marc Jones, Andrew Sheridan, Brent Cockbain, Sean Cox, Richard Wigglesworth, Chris Bell, Rory Lamont
