After starting the season well, beating London Irish, Leeds Carnegie, Bristol and London Wasps, Dean Richards’ team began to struggle and, since October 28, they have recorded just one win in 10 games, and that was a 10-7 close shave at Sixways against Worcester.

Quins, noted for their attractive style of play, come to Sharks on the back of their Heineken Cup exit.

Harlequins had played tough games in the European tournament against Cardiff, which they lost 23-12, and followed that with a 31-10 home defeat to Stade Francais.

Tickets to see Sharks take on Harlequins cost from £15 adults and £7 for juniors.

The camp will include two days of coaching by Sharks coaches at the school but, for one day, the camp will move to the first team’s training base at Carrington.

Everyone attending the camp will have the opportunity to watch Sharks players training and show off their skills in front of their heroes. The rugby enthusiasts will also meet some of their favourite players and get a backstage tour of the training ground.

All attendees will receive a Sale Sharks rugby camp t-shirt plus a free ticket to see Sale Sharks versus Worcester Warriors on February 29.

The camp is for players aged between eight and 15 and costs £85 (or £80 if booked online). To book go to www.rugbycamps.com or for more details call 0161 286 8888 ext 204 or email john.acheson@salesharks.co.uk
