Sale Sharks vs  Harlequins

With their hopes of a home semi-final hanging by a thread, Sale has opted to field a near full-strength team to face a weakened Harlequins … just in case Exeter somehow slip-up against Northampton on Sunday.

This is a big handicap to cover, but the Sale team are in tremendous form at the moment, and they’re looking to build on this form and hopefully take it in to a final. Last time out the Londoners suffered a 48-10 thrashing on their visit to the AJ Bell Stadium – and that’s when they had all their stars playing, like Smith, Danny Care, Chris Robshaw and Kyle Sinckler, and Sale weren’t half as good as they are now.
