Sale Sharks lock Kearnan Myall could replace Wasps's Joe Launchbury in England squad for Argentina tour Myall, who arrived from Leeds two seasons ago, received appreciative applause from Sale's best crowd of the season when substituted eight minutes from the end. The 6ft 7in lock has already gained England Saxons honours and his hopes of a trip to Argentina may rest on the fitness of Joe Launchbury, the Wasps lock who is nursing shoulder and neck problems. Launchbury was rested for this end-of-season encounter and Dai Young, Wasps" director of rugby, described him as "battered" from a season where he has become one of England's regular starters. Myall has been one of Sale's most consistent performers in a troubled season and Diamond believes he may have a chance of going on the tour alongside prop Henry Thomas, who looks certain to help cover for Lions-bound Dan Cole. "He must have an outside chance depending on what England do over the lock situation," Diamond said. Thomas and Myall helped Sale inflict on Wasps an eighth successive defeat in all games. The home team dominated for long periods, especially up front, yet needed a 75th minute penalty goal from Nick Macleod to settle matters. Macleod contributed 11 points alongside tries by wing Tom Brady and Dan Braid, the New Zealand flanker whose excellent form since his arrival at Christmas has done much to keep Sale afloat in the Premiership. Wasps relied on two bursts of gas from Christian Wade, who took his tally to 13 for the season to be joint top scorer in the Premiership alongside team-mate Tom Varndell. Wade looks certain of another England tour having gone on the trip to South Africa last summer. Overall, he has scored 23 tries in 37 Premiership appearances spread over the last three seasons.
