Courtney Lawes Set to Join Sale Sharks, Paving Way for Potential England Return

Courtney Lawes had initially planned to conclude his 20-year rugby career, but instead, he's making a surprising move to Sale Sharks in England. In an interview, Lawes expressed his desire to finish his career where he started, playing in the top tier. After spending two years with Brive in France, he feels rejuvenated and ready for a new challenge. Lawes' decision to join Sale Sharks could potentially open the door for his return to the England national team. He had previously announced his international retirement but is now coming out of retirement. Lawes believes that his experience and leadership skills could be beneficial to the team, but he's aware that he needs to perform at a high level to earn his place. With the World Cup approaching, Lawes is focused on making a strong impression and potentially making history by becoming the first Englishman to participate in five World Cups.
