Ben Cohen will make his first start in a Sale Sharks uniform Friday night as the home side entertain Exeter Chiefs ahead of next week’s mouth watering Guinness Premiership opener against Leicester.
Guinness Premiership, coming soon: Sharks v Tigers
Cohen, a close season capture from Brive, lines up outside Andy Tuilagi in a strong Sale team, Sales’ British Lion Andrew Sheridan also starting the game.
Sale’s Director of Rugby, Kingsley Jones, appreciates the importance of this game in the Sharks pre-season preparation stating:
“We have been scoring tries in games but we have also been giving away too many kickable penalties. Our game management at Exeter was poor and I am looking for improvement this weekend.”
Team: Nick Macleod, Mark Cueto, Chris Bell, Andy Tuilagi, Ben Cohen, Charlie Hodgson, Richard Wigglesworth, Andrew Sheridan, Mahonri Schwalger, Eifion Roberts, Chris Jones, Dean Schofield, James Gaskell, Luke Abraham, Sisaro Kayamaibole
