Quins v Sale, AW Cup. Sale seal late steal

Sale nicked the final group game of the Unfathomable Cup with a late penalty from Will Addison to edge an un-entertaining but sometimes engaging game 13-10 on windy and wet night in west London. Sale must have felt right home though: a Friday night kick off, half empty stadium, rain and wind and a selection of dodgy pies on sale at the ground. [Ed: can’t you fit in a gratuitous whippet or flat cap reference then?]. The cynic might say that three penalties, a rolling maul try and a penalty try are a great advert for the game. Unfortunately that game is rugby league. Hey, maybe I’m being harsh here as a patched up, under strength Quins side gutsed out what nearly would have been a creditable draw against a solid Sale side that wasn’t far off a first team.
