HARLEQUINS 16
SALE SHARKS 24
SALE overcame an early injury to Tom Curry to sweep aside Gallagher Premiership title rivals Harlequins 24-16 at a rain-soaked Twickenham Stoop.
Curry gave new England head coach Steve Borthwick a scare ahead of the upcoming Six Nations when he limped off in the 16th minute after his right leg was trapped awkwardly during a tackle by Wilco Louw.
His attempts to play on were unsuccessful, but impressive Sale regrouped following the departure of their explosive flanker to take Quins apart with a display of methodical precision that cements second place.
In a first half dominated by kicking as heavy rain lashed down in southwest London, the Sharks crossed through Tom O’Flaherty and Rob du Preez to build a solid 14-6 interval lead.
