2 other points of note Piper was on the whistle and Randrana went off injured with what looked like a hamstring. As wonderful a player as he can be you do wonder how much value they get out of him.

Lamb will be very thankful for that 8 year contract.

You are correct, with O'Driscoll playing too. Remember it well and Tom Youngs was not aware of that win when I told him last night. Great to see Tom, he was "enjoying" the evening. :smt023 :smt030 For those who live in Great Glen he wished to be remembered to all, especially Devana Way.

Sale looking vunerable
Their backline does not work with a 10 at 13.

Honestly
Gloucester play like they did v La Rochelle
Falcons play like they did v Gloucester
and we might have a chance of top 2.

Doesn’t surprise me. Ford coming back has given them a problem as they don’t want to drop Du Preez after he was playing so well. Sanderson is going to have to make a decision put one of them on the bench and move one of the James boys to 13

Doesn't help that du Preez makes some very bad calls defending in the 13 channel.

The Sale forwards on the back foot and giving away penalties for fun is killing them. The ref is a bit home team friendly but the Sale scrum has been shambolic so far.

Sale just need to get some ball in hand and get Ford playing through the phases, they are to quick to kick and their back three not getting close to their Cardiff cpunter parts.

Wish this forum had a like button.

Agree with this. Ford looks best when he has two running options in the centres and Sam James offers that and more.

Can't believe that off the field tip on Warr wasn't reviewed was a bit of a cheap shot.

Absurd scrum penalty from the ref. Sale marching forwards and he gives it the other way!

Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Realistically only Montpelier might buck that trend now
