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.

Swain is a lot better isn’t he? He#s always been a good lineout palyer but his discipline let him down and he’s become mindful of that. He’s not an enforcer so he should focus on what he’s good at!
Haven’t watched the Landers since I wrote that article on them. They seem to have had a lot of narrow shaves?
Go to commentsAgreed re coaching. I think Siya is not a certainty for the starting side in the next world cup. There are some awesome youngsters coming through who have already tasted the green and gold. Elrich Louw(before injury) and Evan Roos (since injury return) have huge potential and were/are performing really well. I think Roos is a natural No 6 personally I think we need a taller No8.
