Premiership - Sheridan raring to go.

Sale and England  prop Andrew Sheridan is determined to make up for lost time when he returns from a long-term shoulder injury for the new Aviva Premiership season.

The giant loose-head (pictured) suffered a serious shoulder dislocation playing for the Sharks against Cardiff Blues last October and has been sidelined ever since.
And the British & Irish Lion now wants to repay Sale for the support they have shown him during his recuperation.
"I only managed to play five games before the injury struck and it didn't come at a good time for the club," Sheridan told the Manchester Evening News.
"In some ways, I obviously feel like I owe Sale Sharks a lot so I'd like to have a good season.
"I'm not trying to pretend and start waving the loyalty flag around because it's a professional game and injuries happen.
"But, at the same time, the club has been good and looked after me well and I'd like to put myself about it this season to try and help Sharks."
Sheridan is regarded as one of the most powerful scrummagers in world rugby and the 30-year-old is confident the rebuilt shoulder will allow him to reach the same heights for club and country.
England face New Zealand, South Africa, Australia and Samoa in a challenging autumn series and manager Martin Johnson will be hoping the giant prop can add to his front-row resources.
"In some ways I suppose I do almost feel like a new player having had surgery on both shoulders," Sheridan added.
"I've been out a hell of a long time - since last October - although in some ways the time seems to have gone very quickly.
"I've got one more appointment with the surgeon Len Funk just to make sure that he's happy and then I'll be looking forward to playing in the pre-season games.
"I will have been out almost 10 months by the time we play our first pre-season game so it has been a long road back but hopefully everything will be alright. It's certainly stronger now."
Sheridan's injury absence was a blow for Sale last season, but the club also struggled after the departure of several senior players over the summer, including talisman Sebastien Chabal, and leading forwards Jason White and Juan-Martin Fernandez Lobbe.
The Sharks won only six of their 22 league matches and became embroiled in a relegation battle before finishing the season second from bottom, four points clear of relegated Worcester.
"Maybe when you haven't played for a while, the temptation is to sit in the stands and think you could do more than you actually could achieve," Sheridan explained.
"As you get older, you get more honest about your own performances and though when I play I hope I add something to the team, at the same time I don't overestimate what I can bring.
"But looking at it from the club's perspective, hopefully we can emerge stronger from what happened last year.
"I know it has been talked about a lot but it was major loss the summer before when we lost five or six top quality players and it did have a huge impact on things subsequently.
"Now, it's a case of us all trying to get the best out of each other and raising our own personal standards and setting high personal levels that we want to attain.
"If everyone does that on an individual basis then it should combine nicely from a team perspective."
Sale open their Premiership account at home against Newcastle on September 3.
