And Mujati said: “It’s a game I looked out for on the fixture list when I first arrived.

“And I am looking forward to meeting up with some of my former team-mates from my time at Franklin’s Gardens after the game.

“I enjoyed my time there and the highlight had to be winning a tough Heineken Cup quarter-final against Perpignan (in 2011).”

Mujati made 110 appearances for Saints between 2009 and 2013, becoming a firm fans’ favourite at Franklin’s Gardens.

And he knows just how tough a test Jim Mallinder’s men will provide for the side he signed for during the summer.

“They are a tough team and we will need to be at our best on Sunday,” said the 31-year-old.

“After losing at Saracens it was great for us to get the bonus-point win over Worcester last Friday. It gives us something to build on.”

And on his new start at Sale, Mujati added: “I am enjoying life at Sharks, everyone has been so welcoming and the lads tell me that they like playing at the AJ Bell Stadium and are keen to maintain it as a fortress.

“The Premiership has always has been a tough league and after returning from two seasons in France it’s good to see that the intensity levels in every game is still there.”
