Danny Cipriani will start at fly-half for Sale‘s reception of Toulon in the third round of the Heineken Cup this afternoon.
The mercurial playmaker was set to start the game on the bench with Rob Miller getting the nod at 10 but illness to full-back Cameron Sheperd has forced the Sharks to reshuffle their starting line-up.
As a result, Miller switches to his more familiar position of full-back and Tom Holmes fills Cipriani’ s place on the bench.
Sale: Miller; Jennings, Uys, Leota, Cueto; Cipriani, Cliff; Harrison, Taylor, Buckley; Gray, McKenzie; Gaskell, Seymour, Vernon.
Replacements: Cruise, Lewis-Roberts, Cobilas, Myall, Powell, Fowles,Holmes, Amesbury.
