I will admit to having a little chuckle at the end of the match, seeing all those empty bits of the stands that had, five minutes and two tries before, been fully occupied.

I’m going to get a GIF of Bedders’s try on a loop. That way, I’ve got something on hand if I’m ever desperately in need of a giggle.

View from the south stand: Sale 14 Bristol 22 [GP]
On reflection, this result has been on the cards since pretty much the start of the season. Stuttering against Saints first up, the debacles at Exeter and Quins, unconvincing against Newcastle and ponderous against Bath and Sarries. The engine has been misfiring from the outset.

View from the armchair: Harlequins 36 Sale 3 [GP]
Saturday afternoon, six-fifteen, Sarries-Northampton has just finished. I’m sitting in my armchair, thinking, “We’re still top. How did that happen?”

View from the south stand: Sale 11 Bath 9 [GP]
It was suggested to me after the game that I should find an alternative to ‘squeaky bum time’ as that phrase was in danger of getting worn out through over-use.

View from the south stand: Sale 40 Newcastle 22 [GP]
I may have been a bit previous last week when I suggested that we’d maybe got over the habit of going in at halftime well ahead and blowing it in the second half.
