I'm really excited to be joining Sale. My body feels good and I'm still performing at a high level. I feel like I can compete with the best of them, and then some, and I think if I retired now, I'd probably regret it when I was older.

Sisilia Tuipulotu starred for the defending champions, helping them on their way to a comprehensive 45-22 victory with two first-half tries. The league leaders opened a 10-point cushion over second-placed Saracens, who host Bristol Bears on Sunday. Meanwhile, Sale Sharks won 36-31 at Trailfinders in Saturday's other match.

"Alex has real international quality without winning as many caps as he's deserved - he's versatile and I believe he can bring so much quality to us in a lot of different positions,"

Losing is in danger of becoming a habit for Sale as they came off second-best to a stellar Glasgow side who headed back north with a bonus-point win in this Investec Champions Cup opener. Alex Sanderson's hosts have already lost four games in the Prem and they let slip an early 14-0 lead to a visiting team packed with some of Scotland's finest talent. The Warriors showed their mettle to score four tries and condemn Sale to another bitterly disappointing home loss.

Caluori ran in five tries on his first Prem start for the hosts, who scored 10 tries in total, to bounce back from last weekend's derby defeat to Harlequins impressively.

George Ford's stellar performance propelled Sale Sharks to a significant victory over Saracens, showcasing his skills and leadership in a highly competitive match.
