Sale Sharks

Only a minute later, another penalty was laid out for the All Black McAllister who proved his substance scoring and making amends for the previous.
Earls and Dowling both realised that running was the only option feeding the ball to Mafi to prove his strength.

Munster, once again on the attack and with Warwick on the attack scored the first try of the game with a converted try from O’Gara.
