set a new Sale record for most points in a season (338).
Full Time. Gloucester 15-30 Sale . Yesssssssssssssss!!! 👏👏👏
Bonus Point win on the road. Bloody brilliant. Well played boys.
The Shed are apparently none too happy (in other news, rain is wet).

@Steve_Dimes
(yellow card - obviously!) played his last Premiership game for Sale Sharks (won 50-37 at Bedford Blues). Picture shows a typically calm Dimes having to be held back after losing the toss.
BREAKING NEWS | Sale have qualified for the 2019-20 Champions Cup by virtue of La Rochelle’s 81-12 win over Bordeaux!
La Rochelle’s BP win this afternoon means they qualify by finishing 5th in the Top 14 and Sale will qualify as the 7th-placed team in the Premiership!
Full Time: Bristol 13-20 Sale.
Honestly wasn't expecting to take much from this match. WHAT A WIN. Massive defence. Discipline improving. Youngsters proving their worth (Rodd, Ashman, Dugdale). Lineouts improved 100% since Josh has returned.

Full Time: Sale 22-12 Bristol.
Regardless of the result, that's one of the best games I've seen in years. 2 excellent teams. Test Match standard. And the crowd were a brilliant 16th man.
FULL TIME: Sale 24-18 Saracens. Yessssssss. Yesssssss. Bloody brilliant. Yessssss. Well done boys. Well done Dimes. Well done Dorian. Well done Robbie. Well done bloody everyone. Yesssssss. Bloody Yesssssss.

Gutted but proud. Thanks for a great season. It's a journey and the team that wins together first needs to experience losing together. We will be back stronger.

@RugbyYarns
scored a try on his home debut for
@SaleSharksRugby
(lost 25-37 v Harlequins, LV Cup). Coincidentally, on this day in 2018, he played his final game (drew 15-15 v Saracens, AJ Bell). In 8 seasons Johnny played 135 games, scoring 27 tries.
Laurent Koscielny (Arsenal 'hard man', apparently) was just down for 8 MINUTES after an accidental heel to his cheek. I wonder how he'd cope at the bottom of a ruck?

The Sale 'turn around' has coincided with the Reed-Roebuck selections. Credit to Alex Sanderson and the coaching staff for for trusting in the younger players. Feels like we've added a cutting edge out wide which had been missing earlier this season.
RETURNING HOME | We can finally share our exciting vision for a historic return to our hometown of Sale, in a new state-of-the-art stadium.

is even better! 😉
I sincerely hope, in similar circumstances, no rugby team would abandon a 'team mate' the way Liverpool did to Karius this evening. Where was his captain? Where was his manager? Where were his so-called mates?

Full Time: Sale 35-26 Leicester.
Another excellent 2nd half (I know!). Huge impact of the bench. Penalty count & handling errors meant we were hardly in it for much of the match, but when we put phases together, we can beat anybody!
Dunno about anybody else, but I’m really gonna miss

Every time we wave off Manu to the England squad he comes home broken. Every bloody time. Does EJ not understand differentiated player management?
Gutted for Manu, Sale & England. Not so much for Jones!
