SALE Sharks will create a new club record if they beat Worcester tonight but rugby director Philippe Saint-Andre is not getting carried away.

A fourth successive Zurich Premiership victory would represent Sale's best league start and put them back on top of the table above Newcastle.

It is a feat that Saint-Andre's team should accomplish, especially since they are unbeaten in the league at Edgeley Park since October last year.

But the Frenchman is more concerned with improving on last Friday's display, when Sale defeated Saracens 25-15 in an uninspiring encounter.

"We have started well, but I was not very happy last week," he said. "We have to make sure that we get plenty of fast ball to our backs.

"While we have won three out of three, we've not yet secured any bonus points, which are crucial in the Premiership. We are expecting a tough game against a good Worcester side."

The Warriors are still searching for their first win, but captain Pat Sanderson said: "We have had some very narrow defeats and the difference be-tween the top and bottom of the Premiership is a very small margin, more so this year than last.

"It is turning those narrow defeats into wins that count, and finding that bit extra is all important.

"We have a tough one against Sale --they are flying high -- so hopefully, we can go there and spoil that party."
