Wales and Lions scrum-half Dwayne Peel comes into the backs, while England international Stuart Turner, Scotland’s Jason White and Argentina international Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe are named in the pack.
Sale director of rugby Philippe Saint Andre said: “We know that we cannot qualify for the semi-finals but this is an excellent opportunity for the younger players to push for a place in the starting line-up during the autumn internationals and beyond.
“We have used a blend of experience and youth in the EDF Energy Cup this year and we have been far from disgraced in the games against Cardiff and Bath, losing narrowly.”
