London Wasps - Return of Ali Crossdale

With London Wasps playing at home, they can be labeled as the potential favorites of winning. Ali Crossdale marks his comeback in the side, with Rob Miller also being inducted into the squad lineup for the first time. Tom Curry and Arron Reed are also prepared for the challenge against Sale Sharks. The Wasp’s dugout expects much drama and action as eight players from their lineup will be playing in front of their home ground for the last time. Though Wasps’ eight-match winning streak was disturbed by Lyon (20-18), they can still get up and play like the champions.

Sale Sharks - Looking to Bounce Back Strong

Though Sale Sharks lost the Champions Cup Quarterfinal, they can make a comeback against the Wasps. Sale Shark’s away form is also very doubtful as they haven’t won a single away game from their last 3 away fixtures.
