If you want a phrase that epitomises Sale Sharks over the seasons, it would be “that was a lot closer than it should have been”, AKA “squeaky bum time”.

View from the off-season: 2022-23 preview
I was there, you know. Up in the gods at HQ, about a mile from the pitch when George sent the ball back inside from the left wing, fell over and didn’t get back up.

View from the south stand: Sale Sharks 28 Harlequins 22
There comes a point as a supporter (usually when the cold has consigned your toes to a distant memory) when you find yourself wondering why on earth you actually pay good money for this. But there are also those times (often in the same game) when you say this is why I pay good money to be here.
