SALE Sharks return to LV Cup action on Sunday looking to bounce back from last weekend's heavy defeat at Munster Rugby in the European Champions Cup.

Sharks travel to Newcastle Falcons (3pm kick off) before hosting Scarlets in the same competition the following Saturday.

In their previous two LVC games at the beginning of November Sharks beat Wasps 32-29 at home then lost away to Leicester Tigers 29-13.

Meanwhile, Sharks star Danny Cipriani reported for training with England in Surrey this week.

With Owen Farrell ruled out of the RBS Six Nations campaign through injury, the in-form Sale man – who is looking to return to the England fold – will battle it out for the No 10 shirt with Bath's George Ford and Northampton's Stephen Myler.
