Toby Booth, Ospreys Head coach, said:
“Sale are big and strong, there are lots of South African accents, they enjoy the collisions and they attack the breakdown.
“It’s nothing we didn’t know already from my time in England, but Sale pride themselves on being very efficient in how they play.
"We know we need to be very good in our set-piece and at the breakdown.”
