Nicely balanced Sale back row.

It will be tough getting a win at Bath. RDP moves back to 10 from 13 where he was actually playing very well but AJ's injury means needs must I guess. No Wilkinson perhaps suggests Axe has some doubts and Curtis has leapfrogged him? We really need to sort out who the back up 10 is. Wilkinson showed great promise as a youngster but hasn't really kicked on. Would have preferred Sam James to have a longer break as he is so out of form and Doherty deserves a decent chance. Otherwise, it's probably as good as we can put out given current injuries.

Stuart out, Rae in, Fia to bench

Ouch that's a tough blow for Bath. Stuart started to look like he'd refound his form in the last two England games.
