Another record crowd at London Irish?
London Irish v Sale Sharks (Sat)
Madejski Stadium
Saturday, 25 March
Kick-off: 1445 GMT
Live on BBC local radio and the BBC Sport website
Sale hope to welcome back Charlie Hodgson after the England fly-half returned to training this week after recovering from a hamstring injury.
But international team-mates Mark Cueto (ribs) and Andrew Sheridan (neck) are both struggling to shake off injuries.
Sale will, though, have flanker Magnus Lund available again on his return from England Sevens duty in Melbourne.
London Irish, occupying a play-off spot in third, could close the gap on the leaders to four points with victory.
The hosts have already sold around 17,000 tickets for the game and could break the Premiership attendance record - outside of the opening-weekend double header at Twickenham - which they already own.
Two years ago 20,840 attended the St Patrick's Day celebration fixture against Bath.

L'Irish were shite last year, really shite but I've enjoyed a couple of their games this year - they're playing much better rugby and they've got exciting, adventurous backs now.Flash Gordon wrote:Amazing that such an average side market themselves so incredibly well.....we should take lessons.

They're praying for Leinster in the H Cup next year
