Fascinating game. Well played Sale.
Quins are an odd side, they didn't perform as well as they did last week (look at the difference in Hobson for example) in the first half but ended up in front in spite of their big players performing poorly. I thought the harsh talks during the past week were the wrong call in a side on the brink. I'd have been talking up rather than down, so when you have a leader like Murley chewing you out only to play like he did and Smith disintegrating as the game went on, you're going to think F this everything is wrong when the pressure is on. Then the capitulation naturally follows. Quins really a dug a trap for themselves and promptly fell into it. Will be interesting to hear post-match comments again.
Sale were physical, cynical and gritty. Squeezing until Quins broke. They're back baby (now I'm really worried) - RDP was my POTM, he is perfect for Sale and will be hard to replace.
