Sale make a break from scrum, ref misses a clear forward pass.
Looong injury break as Chisholm is stretchered off. Hope nothing lasting
White scores 29 - 34 1.30 to play
Enjoyable game despite the result..
Thanks for the updates. Hope Chisholm is ok
How did we do. anyone play well??
Fingers crossed for the injured players (Chis and David I think)?
Sad to hear Chis getting injured again, and slightly worrying if David is.
I presume WEv's substitution was tactical rather than injury?
Sale have apparently been docked 5 points for playing an ineligible player v wasps in Premiership Cup. This according to twitter from RFU.

We signed a guy who Bears had dispensed with (Alex Groves) and played him against Wasps. Turns out he’d already played earlier in the season for Bears.
We had a very,
very slim chance of progressing in the PRC but a 5-point deduction made it impossible.
Stupid admin error that any amateur club should avoid but largely meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
Both Chis and David head injuries. David’s looked innocuous but Chis’ was a heavy blow, stretchered off (looked like the knee of their 5, with something of a follow through about that).
Cleaves is seriously rapid and Anawanyu (sp?) was excellent before he also limped off. Scrum went well, Jones does seem to have that sorted, but line out iffy and maul poor, so business as usual. Defence at 13 and wider was awful. Other than those mentioned, no other medals to hand out in a very scrappy performance.
And the perennial question: how did CSW play?

You beat me to it! He was on the pitch for quite a while, so somebody must have seen enough to form a view.
I thought CSW did pretty well tbh. Some powerful bursts through the defence and strong in the scrum. Difficult to tell how good he is against a second string Sale team. Hammond looked very good again and I would hope a good replacement for Tiz in the long term.
