Alex Sanderson has revealed why he won’t dare fire up Manu Tuilagi before the England star takes on his old club Leicester.
Sale are 80 minutes from their first Premiership final since 2006 but will need Tuilagi at his best to subdue the reigning champions.
“They’re going to be frothing at the mouth, steam coming out of their ears, fire and brimstone,” admitted Sharks boss Sanderson. “We’ve beaten them twice and I’ve heard through the England camp that they want us, they want to play us. I get that. If somebody beat me twice I’d want them.”
