Complete dominance for Sale in the first half, complete opposite in the second, culminating in Lavea throwing an intercept pass in over time to go from a draw to a loss
Subs made a ridiculous times (James Gaskell poor all game, only brought off 4minutes from the end) - Henry Thomas on all match despite getting penalised a load in the 2nd half
Shambles of a 2nd half, and embarrassing basically.
Yes and no - Buckley was on the bench as Tighthead replacement, however when Thomas got carded (team yellow for killing the ball) they brought on Cobilas at tight head (he's normally a tight head, and is easily our best scrummaging prop, but is being used as loosehead bench replacement for some reason) and he held the scrum up better with only 7 men, than Thomas did with 8 =/
I think Steve Diamond/Tony Hanks are starting to realise Buckley is useless, and must be kicking themselves for giving him a THREE YEAR contract
