Saints make seven changes for Sale clash
Northampton Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder has made seven changes to his team for the final Guinness Premiership game of the season at Sale Sharks.
With one eye on the European Challenge Cup semi-final, Mallinder has rested the likes of Euan Murray, Bruce Reihana, Juandre Kruger and James Downey.
Dylan Hartley and Roger Wilson are out injured, while Sean Lamont returns to the starting line-up.
Mallinder said: "While we have a Challenge Cup semi-final to come in a week's time we are most certainly focused on what will be a difficult game at Sale."
