Sale Sharks director of rugby Bryan Redpath has urged his players to stay focused for their "massive" game at Worcester Warriors on Friday.
The Sharks go into the encounter at Sixways bottom of the Aviva Premiership table with just a single point from their first six matches.
"It's a massive match for us, and Worcester as well," said Redpath.
"We've got to make sure that we're focused on the game, not on the table. Away matches like this are tough, and Friday evening will be a massive challenge for us."
Worcester currently sit ninth in the table after one win, one draw and four defeats.
