Rasmussen returns for Sale clash Peter Austin 22 November 2007 WARRIORS' hard-hitting centre Dale Rasmussen is back in the line-up for tomorrow night's Guinness Premiership clash with Sale Sharks - but his Samoan team-mate Loki Crichton misses out through injury.
Rasmussen was rested for the two European Challenge Cup victories against Bucuresti and Montauban but returns to the outside centre berth for the crunch top-flight clash at Sixways on Friday night (8pm kick-off).
Mark Tucker will play alongside Rasmussen with Crichton ruled out with a calf injury, and youngster Chris Pennell retains his place at full back after his impressive try scoring display against Montauban.
Warriors keep the same pack that recorded a five try victory last weekend with New Zealand international lock Greg Rawlinson handed a place on the bench.
There is also a place amongst the replacements for Dominic Feaunati with the Samoan back after being ruled out since early October.
Sale have named a star-studded side for the match with All Blacks centre Luke McAlister making his full debut.
Mark Cueto, Sebastien Chabal, Rory Lamont, Andrew Sheridan and Jason White also make the starting XV after their World Cup exploits last month.
Warriors v Sale Sharks: 1 Morris, 2 Lutui, 3 Taumoepeau, 4 Murphy, 5 Gillies, 6 Wood, 7 Sanderson, 8 Talei, 9 M Powell, 10 Drahm, 11 Garvey, 12 Tucker, 13 Rasmussen, 14 Delport, 15 Pennell
Replacements: 16 Mullan, 17 Fortey, 18 Rawlinson, 19 Horstmann, 20 Runciman, 21 Feaunati, 22 Carlisle.
