The hosts sit sixth in the table following a first half of the campaign which has blended the irresistible with the less so, often on a week-by-week basis or even in the same fixture!
Rams produced a brilliant second half to almost topple league leaders Rotherham Titans in their final home fixture of 2025, and then turned on the style with a stunning success at Rosslyn Park.
Sale, however, arrive in brilliant form themselves with five victories in their past six outings leaving the fifth-placed Dogs just half-a-dozen points off the summit.
The two sides have built up a storied rivalry since Rams reached National One, with a 34-0 home success in the corresponding fixture last term one of the club’s best-ever results.
