The 24-year-old scrum-half has become a mainstay of the<br />

<strong>Sharks</strong> side after coming through the club’s academy.<br />

Affiliated with <strong>Sale</strong> since the age of 14, Warr played his junior<br />

rugby with Winnington Park RFC and Bowdon RFC, but represented<br />

Scotland at Under-18s, 19s and 20s level.<br />

Switching to England for his representative Under-20s rugby,<br />

Warr made his Premiership debut for <strong>Sale</strong> as an 18-year-old<br />

and gradually established himself as a regular starter, including<br />

wearing the No.9 shirt for last year’s Gallagher Premiership<br />

final.<br />

At the age of only 23 Bevan Rodd is already closing in on a<br />

century of appearances for <strong>Sale</strong> <strong>Sharks</strong>, and has been capped<br />

six times by England.<br />

The six-foot-tall loose-head was born in Scotland and<br />

schooled on the Isle of Man, earning a place at Sedbergh<br />

School and helping them to the national schools titlein 2017.<br />

Capped by England at Under-16s,18s and 20s levels before<br />

graduating to the full national side, the understated Rodd is<br />

known for his work rate and set-piece solidity.<br />
