That was a terrible match. Very disappointing, I was looking for the Sale backs to really fire. Strettle and Lamont were about the pick of the bunch out wide despite not getting much clean ball.

Mind you, Sheridan and White were fairly beast-like up front for the Sharks.

Most entertaining moment of the match came from good old Raspberry Ripol. What a legendary little Spaniard.

What country is Lee Thomas from? he always seems to perform well for Sale and surely he is knocking on the international stage. Agree with SaintsFan_Webby though Sale and the game in general was really dissapointing, especially after Sale getting out of the blocks so quickly. Some real big hits in this game though from White and Lund but Sale look far from a team challenging for the ***le.

Lee Thomas is welsh, because of the rules that have changed for welsh rugby he has to be playing for a welsh team in order to play internationaly

No he doesn't. That ruling will only apply to players who move away from Wales once it has officially been put in place. Players already at clubs outside the Welsh regions (or in Dwayne Peel's case, signed contracts before it came into effect) will still be eligable for international duty.
