New Sale Sharks signing Danny Cipriani is hoping to make his debut for the club in the upcoming Rugby Sevens series, should his pre-season preparation permit.
Cipriani has only been training with his new club for a week after signing in March, but he has confessed that he would like to play this Friday if his fitness levels are acceptable.
"I've only been here in Manchester a week but in terms of the feel I've had it has been good," ESPN quotes Cipriani as saying.
"There is a great buzz around the city and all the boys seem to love it and I'm very much looking forward to being here.
"[The Sevens is] something I would like to be part of as long as it fits in with my pre-season."
The Sharks will battle Northampton Saints, Leicester Tigers and London Welsh to reach the final.
