On a warm day following thundery showers, the game was pushed back to a 4pm kick-off following some travel disruption for the away side. The opening 15 minutes proving a cagey affair with both sides kicking long in a bid to dominate the territory battle.

The hosts who had lost their past six games with Sale were unable to make their numerical advantage count, but they did hit the front after 34 minutes as man-of-thematch Fraser Honey put in a pin-point cross-field kick for first-time starter Luke Graham to collect, side-step Tom Brady and open the scoring.
