Don’t particularly care about the game, I’m just very confused why you’d play O’Connor at 13 when you’ve got Sam James at fullback and some rando at 10?

Perpignan: Farnoux; Bousquet, Lucas, Marty, Sau; Selponi, Degmache; Mamea, Brazo (capt), Reynaud, Vivalda, Van Heerden, Charlet, Leiataua, Boutemmani.

Replacements: Deligny, Tougne, Muller, Roussel, Iachizzi, Mele, Seguy, Taumoepeau.

Sale Sharks: James; McGuigan, O'Connor, Van Rensburg, Odogwu; Wilkinson, De Klerk; Harrison, Webber, John, Beaumont, Phillips, Ross (capt), Curry, Strauss.

Replacements: Langdon, Bristow, Jones, Nott, Curry, Cliff, Doherty, James.

Might be worth checking in just to see the hilarious sight of fat Odogwu still being pretty rapid.

Wilkinson starting and Doherty on the bench! That's superb! Great experience to be gained for both. Lovely to see Wilkinson outside De Klerk.

Wilkinson, that rando at 10, is a rather promising talent having dogged it out with Smith at age grade level and started as many as he's benched. A very talented young man.
