Sports Mole previews Saturday's Aviva Premiership clash between Northampton and Sale at Franklin's Gardens.

Northampton Saints will all but secure a place in the Aviva Premiership playoffs if they beat Sale Sharks at Franklin's Gardens on Saturday.

The Saints are currently five points clear of fifth-placed Gloucester Rugby in the table with two games left to play.

However, they will be wary of a Sale side who hammered Gloucester 32-9 last weekend.

The hosts make just the one change as Tom May comes into the starting XV in place of the injured George Pisi.

The Sharks have a number of new faces in their side, including Mike Haley, Tom Brady, Charlie Amesbury and Danny Cipriani.
