Looks like Leicester have a slight advantage up front, despite the return of many Sale players - Faure, Fernandez-Lobbé and the like - while Sale have the advantage in the backline.
The Kiwi centre line-up would be interesting, if the damn match was televised instead of the mediocrity-fest between Falcons and Wasps, and Tait's lining up in the centre could be the making or breaking (again) of him, since he's been ****, quite frankly, all season!

Both teams need to win, but home advantage, bias, and the fact Leicester are missing their England-contingent leans me to a Sale victory.
 
14 - 0 to Sale. Try to Cueto and to some anonymous person.
Two McAlister conversions.
What the **** is going on? o.0

Seems that the second try was by Schofield.
 
17 - 3 at the moment, moments before half time.
And in fact, this commentator does in fact like to say in fact a lot.
McAlister-Tait combination sounds good; the whole backline is functioning for a change.
Half time.
 
27 - 13 final score. Rory Lamont (Lions-14-shirt-elect) gets a break-away try at the end as Leicester pile on the pressure.

Superb victory after our dire displays against Worcester and Wasps. :D
 
Gaw if only we all supported half of Europe, imagine how happy this forum would be!
 
Sale, Toulouse and Llanelli only make up half of Europe because they're so f**king good.
Get over it, you muppet! :rolleyes:
