Toulouse v Sale: Teams

International duo Dwayne Peel and Gavin Kerr have been included in Sale's starting XV for the trip to Toulouse.

Wales scrum-half has recovered from injury and will captain the side, while Scotland prop Kerr finally gets his chance to shine.

Sean Cox and Carl Fearns also return from injury, with director of rugby Kingsley Jones looking forward to the trip to France.

Jones said: "We have to manage the squad carefully and I had players like Gavin Kerr wanting some game time.

"Gavin has 50 caps for Scotland and has been working hard and deserves a chance as do some of the other squad members like Jack Forster and Rob O'Donnell.

"We are also boosted this weekend with the return of Dwayne Peel, Sean Cox and Carl Fearns from injury and all three can't wait for the game in Toulouse to kick-off.

Formidable

"In managing the squad I am fully aware that we only have a five-day turn around after Sunday's game against Toulouse and we are flying back straight after the game to maximise our preparations for the Cardiff Blues game."

Toulouse have named a formidable-looking line-up, with a French international back division fed by All Black scrum-haf Byron Kelleher.

In the forwards, Louis Picamoles, Thierry Dusautoir and Jean Bouilhou will combine in the back row, with Census Johnston and Daan Human coming into the front row.
