Saint Andre wants urgent response

Sale director of rugby Philippe Saint Andre has called for an immediate response to the defeat at Bath.

The 24-20 reverse at the Rec was their third league defeat of the campaign.

Saint Andre said: "After last week's defeat at Bath, the players have all reacted positively and want to put that game behind them.

"Wasps come to Edgeley Park having found their true form and we expect a tough game. They have good players throughout their team."

Saint Andre added: "We need the win to keep in touch with the leading Premiership clubs. Edgeley Park will be packed with our supporters and we want to give them a winning end to 2008."
