<div align="center"> Sale v London Irish (Sat)</div>
GUINNESS PREMIERSHIP
Date: Saturday, 10 May Kick-off: 1500 BST Venue: Edgeley Park
Coverage: Live scores on BBC Sport website
Sale make two changes to the side which beat Harlequins, with Lionel Faure and Neil Briggs replacing Andrew Sheridan and Sebastien Bruno in the front row.
Winger Mark Cueto is back after injury, but is only named on the bench.
London Irish recall Peter Hewat at full-back, with Topsy Ojo reverting to the right wing, while Shane Geraghty partners Seilala Mapusua at centre.
Tonga Lea'aeota is at loose head prop, while Phil Murphy plays his final game for the club at number eight.
Sale boss Philippe Saint-Andre:
"London Irish will be tough opponents. They have a good side and were unlucky in the Heineken Cup semi-finals when they narrowly lost to Toulouse.
"They have a very good record against us and I am sure they will be looking to finish their season on a high."
London Irish director of rugby Brian Smith:
"It's possible for us to finish in sixth place and secure a Heineken Cup place for next season. If we're to do that then we must win on and hope that results elsewhere go our way.
"Sale have shown the true potential of their strong squad this season. They have been in the top half of the league for most of the season and deservedly so."
Sale: Foden, Kuadey, Bell, McAlister, Vilk, Hodgson, Wigglesworth, Faure, Briggs, Turner, Jones, Cockbain, White (capt), Lobbe, Chabal. Replacements: Bruno, Sheridan, Roberts, Schofield, Hills, Cliff, Cueto.
London Irish: Hewat, Ojo, Mapusua, Geraghty, Tagicakibau, Hickey, Hodgson, Lea'aetoa, Paice, Rautenbach, Hudson, Casey (capt), Danaher, Armitage, P Murphy. Replacements: Dermody, Mackie, D Murphy, Johnson, Thorpe, Fury, De Vedia.
