Never seen Sam James at 15 before. Could be an interesting experiment.

I know Sale are at home but that Newcastle side is looking very settled right now and they’ve probably deserved more than they’ve got out of their games so far this season. Away win for me (no BP).

[16th man]

Well, everything under Exeter and Sarries is a bit of a mess isn't it?

[Tigger]

Marlon Yarde out for the rest of the season....gutted for him...

[Digby]

At least Sale have options in the back three
