[Scotty]

Has Sale played all the brothers together yet?

And whats the most amout of brothers ever to be in 1 team? 3 sets of brothers, 2 sets of identical twins and all first team players.

Has Sale played all the brothers together yet?

Tonight will be the first time, if Ben gets on at the same time as Tom.
We've also got two (I think?) more sets of brothers coming through the academy

Buy 1 get 1 free, I guess that's why they are called sale






I'll see myself out.

Does sale play a disproportionate amount of Friday games?

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

That was laughably far forwards from Sale. Also stupid how that is deemed a penalty now. Literally could do nothing to avoid it at all.

Pretty sure it's decided randomly but yeah it does seem that way. Doubt they mind too much, means they get Saturdays off and more air time.

I’m okay with some forward passes not getting called, but it’s almost impossible to defend a forward pass on a crash ball.

also tempest looks hurt

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Cynical by a Sale player there - didn't see which one.

Edit: Was Luke James.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Nah, teams choose their home games - they can get shifted around because of TV fixtures but we're rarely on the box so it doesn't matter.
We choose Friday because of clashes with local football and League sides.



Talk about a ******* nightmare play - 5m from scoring to 7 up the other end

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Hard to understand why players do obviously cynical acts in games with TMOs. You are definitely going to get caught.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

That's beautiful rugby. Ashton really should've just held on with the momentum Sale had built.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Akker can't stop scoring - easily the best strike rate in the Sale squad this season

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Chisholm really should've done better there. Ibitoye showed little interest either.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ibitoye showed little interest either.

The two tries pretty much showed what he's about
Excellent attack, atrocious defence

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The referee calling Danny Care "Dan" just hits the ear all wrong

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Why does Robshaw just refuse to offer himself in attack? He stands flat to his 9 every phase walking forward with his hands up. Who does he think he's buying in?

Offensively they consistently have 14 men on the pitch.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Dunno who hit Care but he murked him

This game is wild
