Interested to see how Ma'asi-White gets on. Has blown hot and cold at age group - looks to have a lot of good physical characteristics and has shown some great hands and running lines, but has also been rubbish at times. His first game in adult rugby, if I'm not mistaken.

Sale by 63 albeit with a late Bristol try spree…

Got a run out from the bench last week. Will be interesting to see how he goes from the start.

Sale at home are a difficult proposition and Bristol's form is nothing to write home about.

Good start from bristol.

Barmy second Bristol try!

Malins finishing off a neat move there. His try saving tackle in the first half was very good as well.

Sale don't look at the races.

Big win for Bristol. Pack fronted up, even Sinckler looked full of beans while Randall and Ibitoye were excellent. Nice energy about their play with and without the ball.

Sale not the same without Ford. Didnt help themselves with 2 yellow cards in quick succession.

Sale were just dull. They can play, but they are just morphing into England.
