A very good day from The Sportsground, I am Usie and have the pleasure of bringing you this afternoon.

Sale Sharks have won all five of their meetings with Connacht, although their two victories in Galway during that run both came by seven points or fewer.

Connacht have won 17 of their last 19 pool stage home games. However, both of them defeats came against English opposition.

Sale have won both of their away games this season, not since 2007/08 have they gone unbeaten away from home in the Challenge Cup pool stage. Sale’s Sam James has made five try assists this season. no player has made more after four rounds.

Is this game being shown on TV? No mention here.
