BOETA Chamberlain starts at fly-half for Newcastle Red Bulls tonight RED BULLS AIM TO BOUNCE BACK AT SALE

Dickens rings changes for Sharks showdown

BOETA Chamberlain starts at fly-half for Newcastle Red Bulls tonight when they make the Gallagher PREM Derby Weekend trip to northern rivals Sale Sharks.

The South African comes in as one of six changes for the 7.45pm kickoff at Corpacq Stadium, with fit-again centre Max Clark returning to the side.

Ethan Grayson slides to fullback with Elliott Obatoyinbo on the wing - Newcastle's other three changes all coming in the forward pack.

Fergus Lee-Warner makes his first start on the blindside flank having debuted from the bench last weekend at Exeter, Adam Brocklebank comes in at loose-head prop and Richard Palfra-man starts on the tight-head side, with a head knock ruling out Luan de Bruin.
