- Tuilagi to make first start in nine months after injury rehab
- Strong performances could lead to international recall
Manu Tuilagi developed a head for heights during his latest injury layoff but as he makes his first start in nearly nine months on Friday night the Sale and England centre is hoping the pinnacle of his season is still to come.
Tuilagi made his comeback from an achilles injury last weekend from the bench and made a considerable impact against Bristol with Alex Sanderson subsequently handing him the No 12 jersey against Harlequins. Sale have already booked their top-four spot but victory would boost their hopes of a home semi-final and aid their pursuit of a first Premiership title since 2006.
