An immense defensive performance and opportunistic play amongst the backs helped Sale Sharks record their second win of the season 25-14 over Wasps on Sunday. In a game that was dominated both possession and territory wise by Wasps, tries in the first and last 5 minutes from Tom Arscott and Tom Brady either side of a Chris Cusiter score in the 39th minute kept Sale at a healthy distance from their Coventry-bound adversaries who for all their possession could not break down Sale's resilient defence for huge stretches of the game. It was a fine performance all round from Sale under the watchful eyes of both Messrs Diamond and Lancaster and victory today has propelled the team to 8th in the Aviva Premiership ahead of next week's encounter with Northampton Saints.

On the attendance, I would have thought that a Sunday game should be better attended than a Saturday game in general, given that there are roughly 150 games of amateur rugby that kick-off at 3pm on Saturday in the North West & Cumbria. That's ~4,500 players plus however many children, spouses and assorted other volunteers that are unavailable to come down to Sale.
