A somewhat ironic ending to Wiese’s tenure - he arrived at Welford Road coping card after card and he ends it with a silly one.

He will be sorely missed.

The key difference today was getting points on the board - last five games we’ve had loads of possession in the first 15mins and come out with little to show for it. Good game management was key today. Stadium was rocking but strangely quite empty - a number of season ticket holders round us missing...

I’m inline with that last pass on that try and it was clearly forward as well…

I’d love Moroni to come back.

Alas I’m not sure he will - it’s was not a very good breakup when he left us - we pretty much dumped him out of the blue and his other half wasn’t happy…

31-15 - 58min gone - Ford with the 3pts

21-15 to sale -HT

Matt Scott with the intercept try - it’s being checked but looks okay to me - TMO, lost comms - still waiting for replays - looks like no replays means try stands….

Warr over for Sale - 9 mins gone

Lieutenant Dan in with the first score. Positive start all round.

Fair play for being there and for saying. One piece of good news indeed.

It’s also not one moment, one player, one game.

It’s one player, two moments, two games, both identical scenarios in the same short season.

The only difference is we lost this game - but we arguably deserved to lose both.

It’s the lack of learning that’s so indefensible

I think many people underestimate how difficult it is to keep the ball for 3 minutes in those circumstances without infringing or making an error. I'm curious, how early would people advocate "sticking it up the jumper" for when defending a slim lead? 5 minutes? 10 minutes? How early do y...
