Can see a close win here - solely based on tradition.
Games between Sale and Newcastle are usually low scoring affairs with the home side winning by <7

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Parton vs Steward is gonna be a great matchup
Reffell vs Cowan as well

 

[Geordiefalcon]

I fancy our chances here....key for me is how our back row play....Chick's 2nd game back after along lay off, Hardie can be class but very hit and miss at the moment and Farrar is a an academy lad a bigger Mark Wilson Mk2

Leicester's legendary defence still going strong...

 

[Reiser99]

What an off-load by McGinty.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Going to have to swap AJ's initials to SBW MacGinty after that,
Nuts offload

 

[Reiser99]

Also enjoying Jake Cooper-Woolley's commentary. He's trying hard to be balanced and not just talk about Sale.

 

[Scotty]

Damn thats clear red for 12 Lirish! Thats so bad!

 

[Reiser99]

Yep, that almost looked intentional like he was aiming for the head. Agree with Healey, completely avoidable and malicious.

 

[Tigs Man]

JVP the next England 9 too never get picked.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hepetema definitely bet on Leicester,
Needless blocking scrubs off a try, then the most blatant red card you'll see

 

[Tigs Man]

Hepetema doing everything he can to lose Irish this game,
Needless blocking scrubs off a try, then the most blatant red card you'll see

Former tiger......
Maybe he's still on the books

 

[Tigs Man]

JVP the next England 9 too never get picked.

Box kick got charge down, England career over

 

[Scotty]

Why does my prem rugby app say akker van der merwe kicked a pen?

 

[Scotty]

Lol it changed to Rob du preez

 

[Tigs Man]

Can't be the only one who thinks Falcons carrying on was reckless?
Imagine getting a injury because you wanted to get a try that would have added nothing

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah mad end to the game,

Happy enough with that though - bar the guards being a bit naive at the ruck for their try, the defence was solid and we showed more attacking intent than we have in a while

Throw a Curry and Rohan into that side and it'll be very good



Edit: Oh ****!
I had Irish +3 in my acca, but gave up hope after the red card - just seen the score haha

I couldn't believe it either, moronic carrying on .
Nothing to gain , and potentially allowing SAle to gain a bonus point ,which , come the end of the season could be difference between the two teams.
Also, as you say, potential for injuries unnecessarily.
