Bottom of the table Saracens take on (previous) table toppers Sale Sharks.
Cueto and Eifion Roberts return to the Sale side, who've XV is unchanged from last week,
Strettle, Borthwick and De Cock return to Sarries side, with their XV unchanged from last week as well
Wigglesworth starting for Sarries, so that'll be odd
I'd be more worried if Borthwick weren't on the bench :lol:

Took Brits less then 30 seconds to gift Sale the first kickable penalty, but McLeoud shows his usual quality and misses.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Cueto starting at 12 was an odd choice, after tuilagi had to pull out:

(from Sale offy)
"The big news pre-match was that Andy Tuilagi had withdrawn with a hamstring strain. Mark Cueto was listed to wear 12, with Rob Miller coming onto the bench. During the warm up, Saracens' prop Rhys Gill withdrew, to be replaced by Deon Carstens. Ex-Sale Jet Matt Parr came onto the bench."

 

[Teh Mite]

Cueto is wearing 12 but at fullback.

Edit: He is also pleased to announce that Shalk Brits is his personnel *****!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The mind boggles,
Williams is best used wherever he can get his mits on the ball though

 

[Teh Mite]

Fearns unlucky to see a yellow. Still no score.

 

[Teh Mite]

Sarries drop a scrum, Barnes calls the reset then awards Sarries the penalty. Power play taken as they go for the lineout.

 

[Teh Mite]

Seamour clams Cuetos crown and also makes Brits his *****. Sarries win another penalty.

Cato knocks on and Sale clear.

 

[Teh Mite]

Sarries (finally) score the try through Brits with a massive maul.

 

[Teh Mite]

Sale do a Leicester and immediately reply through Seamour! :lol:

McLeoud adds the extras. 7-7

 

[Teh Mite]

Fearns returns.

Tell you who i hate? ESPN
They claim it's a free weekend, but then have it free for everyone other than BT Vision =/
BT Vision is exactly the same as Virgin Media, but they get ESPN free weekend and BT doesn't
Having to listen to BBC Radio Watford (or whoever it is) commentary

 

[Teh Mite]

Sale win the penalty in front of the posts. 10-7

Sarries have generally had the run of the game, but so far it's all fizz with little pop.

 

[Teh Mite]

Wigglesworth levels it all up with a penalty.

I hate that ******* song.

 

[Teh Mite]

Cato gives away a stupid penalty.

 

[Teh Mite]

Alex Goode really is a **** fly half. "The future of the England shirt" my arse.

Also, I cry every time I imagine how good Cueto would be if he only had some f*cking pace.

 

[Teh Mite]

Wigglesworth should put Sarries back in front...

Edit: But he misses a sitter. What a Muppet.

 

[Teh Mite]

Gaskell off (injury)

 

[Teh Mite]

McLeoud hits a 60m penalty to put Sale back in front 10-13

 

[Teh Mite]

Andrew Sheridan of old on display: Have a lay down during the scrum.
