Wasps restored to full strength for midweek meeting with Sale
By Online Editors
Lee Blackett has named his side for Wasps’ Gallagher Premiership Round 16 match with Sale Sharks at Ricoh Arena on Tuesday. A strong side sees all but one of the starting fifteen that restarted Wasps’ Gallagher Premiership campaign against Northampton Saints a week ago return to face Sale tomorrow night.
The only change to that starting team sees the injured Kieran Brookes replaced by Jeff Toomaga-Allen.
The quick turnaround between games means none of the 15 selected to start were part of the starting team that beat Worcester Warriors 32-17 on Friday.
There is one potential Wasps debutant in the 23, as 18-year-old Wasps Senior Academy and England Under 18 fly-half Charlie Atkinson is named amongst the replacements.
Meanwhile Sale have also made wholesale changes for the game following defeat to Exeter last Friday.
Steve Diamond has made 9 changes to his matchday 23, including an almost complete overhaul in the forward pack.

Do you know how it's shared? Split over each URC team? Well said. The new club owners could spice things up right?
Go to commentsGreat to see Aki Tuivailala at the Crusaders. Played well for Waikato and NZ Under 20's. Hamilton Boys High has become a great feeder for the Crusaders . Plenty of great local talent coming through, such outstanding young lock Liam Jack. Nephew of All Black Chris Jack. His Dad Graham was in the NPC winning Canterbury team of 1997 . Locked the scrum with Reuben Thorne. Two of his team mates Dads were in that team too, Todd Blackadder, ( captain) , son is Ethan and Angus Gardiner son is Dominic.
