Sale Sharks claimed another impressive scalp on Saturday to continue their unbeaten start to 2016 with a 23-17 victory over second place Exeter. For perhaps the first time this season, Sale enjoyed the total rub of the green as a couple of fortuitous bounces in the build up to Johnny Leota's and Mike Haley's tries, along with a well-worked Nev Edwards score and eight points from the boot of Danny Cipriani helped the Sharks win their sixth consecutive game in all competitions (eighth in their last nine). Despite another august outing for Sale however, wins for Northampton and Wasps conspired to keep the Sharks outside the top-six for another week, although losses for Harlequins and Leicester mean Sale are now only three points adrift of the Premiership play-off places and retain a precious game-in-hand on all of their closest rivals.
