Good start by Sale and Danny Cipriani. He he zipping the ball around and Johnny Leota runs a good line off him and gains ground. But Harlequins turn it over and clear to about halfway.

Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of Sale vs Harlequins. Both sides were in Amlin Challenge cup action last week but had vastly different results. Harlequins played some great attacking rugby to dump out Stade Francais in Paris, while Sale were routed by Northampton at home. But Sale played a weakened team last weekend and they are at full strength tonight. Steve Diamond has really turned Sale around after poor league performance last year and they are almost certain to be in the top tier European competition next year. Harlequins have regressed from the past few years, but are entrenched in the top 6 also. And despite not reaching the high standards they have set in the last few seasons, they are still capable of playing spectacular rugby, as they showed in Paris last week. Sale are one point favourites for the game so expect a tight affair.
