Alright I’ll defend my team.
Define “full”.
Out of the first team squad on the Sale site, 9 of 34 are Saffer - of whom I believe Ross is still an EQP.
Beyond that there are (I think) 4 non-EQPs. In total that’s 38%.
For comparison, Quins have 48 players in the senior squad of which there are 18 are non-EQPs (37.5%).
On balance therefore, I’m not sure Sale are anymore “full” of non-EQP players than Quins and certainly not “full” of Saffers.
By a quick count I also reckon that 9 of Sale's 34 are Academy products so we're just as "full" of Academy players as we are Saffers.
OK "full" is an exaggeration but at first glance last time out forty percent of the starting fifteen were SAffers which seems a pretty high percentage. It also seems to me that many of your key players are South African. Not there is anything wrong with this approach but I'd prefer my club to be based on and have more home players.
