Happy with that. Plenty of quality on show despite it being 6N season.........can’t wait to see Flanagan in action again.

The entire bench minus Longbottom and Malins have been through Goldington Rd. #whataneducation

This could actually be a decent game (I hope I haven't cursed it now).

it is a Friday night....But the sides look pretty well matched i'd say. Sale are hard to beat at home and are in very decent form. A narrow home win wouldnt be a shock.

Weathers actually pretty decent up here today too, so unless it goes off a cliff in the next couple of hours, it will at least be decent conditions underfoot.

Nice too see Mallinder and the double glazing salesman having a skinny jean competition ....... wonder if Mells is wearing his beige pair

How's Liam Williams doing? Back to form?

Did Jono Ross throw a punch during the melee?

I'm amazed he and Mike Brown haven't had a ding dong by now.

The melee was just about the most interesting thing that happened last night.

Yep, a pretty frustrating game.

Some of Sales' 1st phase attacking was interesting, and actually shredded a vaunted defence.....but they couldn't finish anything off.

I only saw the 1st half during which I was wondering if I'd ever seen an English club game with both SHs doing the place-kicking.
