London Irish welcome Sale Sharks to the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday for an early 1pm kick-off.

The Sharks will be full of confidence after a bonus-point win over Saracens last weekend. Meanwhile Irish are looking to build on another impressive away victory, at Newcastle. Every point counts as just five points separate third from eighth in the league.
