The 2003 World Cup winner has returned to England from French Top 14 outfit Brive, where he has played since December 2007 after leaving Northampton.

And Sale head-coach Jason Robinson believes Cohen can reignite his international career in Lancashire, saying: "Can Ben Cohen get back in the England squad? Most definitely."

He added: "I played with Ben for a number of years at the highest level and we were obviously on opposite wings for England in the 2003 World Cup final.

"I know what he is capable of and, while Ben will say his first goal is to play regularly for Sale, he has got ambitions to play for England again.

"He's working exceptionally hard, his desire is obvious.

"I spoke to him about coming here and he made it pretty clear that he wanted to come to Sale.

"I think this will be a really good place for him and he'll get his hands on the ball a lot."

Cohen's return to the Premiership has bucked the recent trend of leading players heading across the Channel to join cash-rich clubs in France.

Sale have been particularly hard by the exodus as Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe, Jason White, Sebastien Bruno, Lionel Faure, Sebastien Chabal and Rory Lamont have all quit the club to join French outfits.
