A very good afternoon, I am Usie and I have the pleasure of bringing you the Sale Sharks vs Perpignan today.

Sale Sharks will be guaranteed of a Challenge Cup quarter-final spot if they claim a bonus-point victory over Perpignan today. This will be the fourth clash between Sale and Perpignan. The TOP 14 side have won two of their previous three meetings but Sale recorded a win at Stade Aimé Giral in Round 1

Sale lost their last home game against Bordeaux-Bègles, however, they’ve never lost consecutive home games in the Challenge Cup.
