RUGBY UNION
FORMER England international Andy Goode believes Sale have a tough Champions Cup test in Pool B next season, but that the arrival of George Ford will be a welcome boost to their European ambitions.
Sharks reached the quarter-finals last season before they were beaten by Racing 92, and they face the daunting prospect of taking on five-time champions Toulouse plus travelling to Belfast to play Ulster Rugby this time around.
With the instrumental South African scrum-half Faf de Klerk having left, Sharks supporters will be hoping Premiership-winning fly-half Ford can fill the void in the half-back area.
And Goode is convinced the 84-cap England international will prove a highly influential addition.
