Sale Sharks have named their side to take on Bristol Rugby in the Aviva Premiership, at the AJ Bell Stadium on New Year’s Day (kick off 2.30pm).

Diamond makes four changes and a positional change to the side which lost last Friday to Northampton. Josh Beaumont starts at number eight, replacing TJ Ioane, who takes his place on the bench. Sam James starts at fly-half, with James Mitchell partnering him at scrum-half. There is also a welcome return for Sam Tuitupou who slots in at inside centre, alongside Johnny Leota.

Jonathan Mills comes into the starting XV, and will make his 100th appearance for the Sharks, alongside Andrei Ostrikov.

Sale Sharks:15. Mike Haley 14. Denny Solomona 13. Johnny Leotan 12. Sam Tuitupou 11. Josh Charnley 10. Sam James 9. James Mitchell 1. Ross Harrison 2. Rob Webber 3. Halani Aulika4. Jonathan Mills 5. Andrei Ostrikov 6. Cameron Neild 7. Magnus Lund 8. Josh Beaumont (capt.)Replacements:16. Neil Briggs 17. James Flynn 18. Kieran Longbottom 19. Ben Curry 20. TJ Ioane 21. Mike Phillips 22. AJ MacGinty 23. Byron McGuigan

Speaking ahead of the game, Diamond said: “Bristol travel to the AJ Bell Stadium in good form. Playing with 14 men for nearly 70 minutes and outscoring Worcester three tries to two shows the improvement they have made over the past couple of months. We have trained hard this week and done our preparation work ahead of the game and we are all aware what we need to do, but it won’t be easy and a good game of rugby is in prospect.”
