View from the south stand: Sale 40 Quins 19 [PRC]
I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that someone, somewhere in the bowels of Premiership Rugby, has an inkling of what is happening regarding the league tables and qualification for the semi-finals. I’m pretty sure that nobody else has the faintest clue.

View from the south stand: Sale 27 Gloucester 17 [GP]
Well, that was a weird one. One-quarter new Sale, three-quarters old Sale. It never quite reached the level of squeaky bum time, but there were moments of unnecessary “what the f—” during the second half.

View from the (StoneX) south stand: Saracens 33 Sale 22 [GP]
Life’s inevitabilities: death, taxes and Sale blowing a bonus point two minutes from full-time.

View from the south stand: Sale 13 Harlequins 29 [GP]
See? I told you. I told you. What did I say last week? “It’s really hard to shake off the feeling that the bubble is going to burst any second, that we’re going to come up against a team that we just can’t handle and that’ll be it, back to scrapping just outside the top four again.”

View from the south stand: Sale 37 Irish 14 [GP]
Apparently, we haven’t started a season with five wins from five since 2004–5. I must have watched that, but I confess to having no real memory of it. Mind you, I can’t remember what I was doing last Wednesday, so there’s that…

View from the armchair: Leicester 16 Sale 26 [GP]
I nearly didn’t watch this one. At least, I nearly didn’t watch it live; I was going to hold off and wait for the result to see if I was going to bother. Then I had a look at what BT was offering up as entertainment, bought my PRTV pass, and settled down for what I was expecting to be a painful couple of hours.

View from the south stand: Sale 28 Exeter 20 [GP]
Don’t wake me up. I’m having this lovely dream where we’ve just beaten Exeter to go to three from three for the season and six wins on the bounce overall.

View from the Birtles: Sale Sharks 31 Wasps 14 [AC]
Probably the best performance I’ve seen in the last couple of seasons from the women. The pack was dominant and the backs mostly looked fluid and nippy.

View from the laptop: Bath 20 Sale 37 [GP]
I think I’ve figured it out: with fifteen men on the pitch, there’s less room and they keep getting in each other’s way. Take one off and the increased space means they can interact more smoothly. Or something…
