Preview: RC Toulon vs. Sale Sharks

Meanwhile, Toulon have won all of their three matches in European competition this season.

Maxime Mermoz, Fred Michalak, Davit Kubriashvili and Joe van Niekerk will all start for the hosts as a number of big names, including Jonny Wilkinson, are left on the bench.

Danny Cipriani and Rob Miller are both named in the Sale starting XV and there is also a spot for Aston Croall.
