West expecting 'full-on' contest

Northampton Saints coach Dorian West says they are not concerned about coming up against their former winger Ben Cohen on Saturday.

The 31-year-old left Saints for Brive in 2007 before joining this weekend's opponents Sale Sharks in March.

West told BBC Radio Northampton: "I can't say Cohen's return interests me at all. He's another player in their team that we have to respect.

"It's probably bigger for Ben coming here, than it is for us him coming."

"He's a good player but Sale have got good players throughout their team. We need to be at our best to beat them," said West.

"It'll be a full-on contest, as it always is in the Premiership."
