View from the armchair: London Irish 36 Sale 18 [GP]
This defeat wasn’t Cobus’s fault, let’s be clear about that. We shouldn’t have been in the position of needing that score in the first place.

View from the Birtles: Sale FC 31 Bishop’s Stortford 7 [Nat1]
A dominant display from FC, although they really should have been more than 10-0 up at halftime. Squint lineouts and imprecision were mostly to blame. The second half was better, but a period of butterfingers and too many penalties let Stortford back into it briefly.

Despite the score, I see continued signs of improvement in the Sale Sharks women’s team. Sale were definitely the better team in the first half and it was only later on, into the second half, that Quins’ greater experience started to show as they took the game away from Sale with some well-worked tries.
Even so, Sale never gave up and their third try with the last play of the game was no consolation prize but a genuine reward for hard work and never giving up.
They deserve the opportunity to continue their progress into next season.

Any more games like that and I think I’m going to need a tube of Anusol.
