Friday's late Guinness changes
November 14 2008
Both Sale and Worcester have been forced into late changes ahead of their game at Edgeley Park on Friday.
All Black centre Luke McAlister has been forced out of the Sale side due to a hamstring strain he suffered in a light team run.
His place goes to Rudi Keil, with Andy Tuilagi coming onto the bench.
Meanwhile Worcester have also had to make a change, with first choice hooker Aleki Lutui becoming a father on Friday and thus unable to play.
Instead Worcester will hand a debut to Chris Fortey, with academy player Jordan Page coming onto the bench.
