Danny Cipriani and Richie Gray are set to make their Sale debuts after being selected among the replacements for tomorrow’s friendly game against Glasgow Warriors.
The mercurial fly-half has returned to England after a tumultuous two-year spell in Super Rugby with the Melbourne Rebels while the giant Scottish lock has moved south from Glasgow to pursue his dream of silverware.
Sale kicked off their pre-season preparations last week with a 38-26 win at Fylde in which wing Tom Brady scored four tries.
Mark Cueto is however prevented from playing in his Testimonial Match due to a calf strain.
Former All-Black Angus Macdonald, Canadian international Taylor Paris and lock Tim Swinson are scheduled to make their first Glasgow appearances.
