Lovely to see that the little cut on borthwick's nose finally healed.

To be fair to Porter the little in and out line he ran before breaking the first tackle made all the space. That was straight out the Murimurivalu playbook and was very nice.

He owed us that one after rushing up to open the hole for Luke James's try. Great finish though.

Burns is so frustrating to watch. Has done some really nice things, but murdered three excellent bits of attacking ball with unnecessary kicks that were terribly executed - once charged down and two going dead. Whitcombe's looking solid on the loose.

I agree on Burns, he's just a bit impatient. Compare that to Ford who will happily play many phases to slowly prise the cracks open in a defence and you see why one is first choice and one is back up.

Sale making it easy for Leicester.

yep...as said, usual mix. So talented, but just doesnt concentrate.

discipline shocking

It's Sale's major fault.

Harsh one for Connie who held his line, unlike the guy who took McGuigan away from the kick chase.

Other than that it's just brain dead penalties and poor skills.

yep no continuity and penalties. Effect meet cause.

That's a bit optimistic. It was as clear a block from a player offside to a guy running after the man with the ball as you'll find. You get away with holding your line when the ball is in the air not when it's in play.

Dumb penalty by Reffell and Sale grab a try from lineout. Poor maul defence. Burns missing that kick to touch was costly.

Sale coach excellent comments from sideline

Oh FFS

JVP on.....for Burns! Slots in at.......15.

Think Burns must be hurt, notwithstanding Healeys mumbling

Surprised Cliff lasted that long

Great try

Great try- Tigers look vulnerable wide.

If that's the case, we have Socino who can play 10 or Saumaki who can play back three. Odd substitution.

Sale actually stringing some rugby together.

That looked like the Sale tighthead drove in and then Whitcombe stuffed him. Sale score off the resulting lineout.

Sale's subs have made an impact.

Over to you Mr Borthwick to respond.

gaaas

then another pen

Difference Warr has made is huge.

big turnaround. Odd subbing tbh...Burns had to be crocked.
Langdon looks good.

yet aother pen

Tigers have been bloody awful in this second half. Sale have come out looking fired up.

I assume Curry is injured‘cause he was starting to make an impact
