We don't have the props to support that 2nd row - Henry needs all the help he can get, so needs Kulemin or Holmes behind him (I'm presuming Ostrikov is injured, as he should be on of the first names on the sheet otherwise). I would have Paterson at 6 with Seymour on the bench (we have Josh Beaumont, a lock who can cover 8, at backrow replacement). Seymour and Braid will be a massive nuisance at the breakdown, but without the firepower/support elsewhere they're just going to get smashed off the ball.

Arscott on fantastic form in pre-season. I'm a little surprised at MacLeod starting - I rate him higher than many Sale fans, but I was expecting Cipriani starting with Ford on the bench. It's great to see Eifion and Miller back after long injury lay offs, as well. I'm less optimistic about this game, now - we were blown away by their pack at Kingsholm last year, and I can see the same happening tomorrow. Just don't have the grunt.
