Final whistle here at the AJ Bell Stadium and Newcastle hold out for the victory! 14-15 the final score in what was enthralling finish. In a game that could of gone either way, Nick MacLeod 's boot was the deciding factor. A dominant scrum lead to many of these scoring opportunities. Dean Richards will be delighted to get his first win under his belt and will hope for a bit of momentum from this victory, Falcons have clearly stated to other teams that they can compete at the top level! As for Sale it will be a disappointing loss in a contest they could so easily have clinched. It'll be back to drawing board for the North-Western side as they ll look to get back to winning ways next weekend. That is all from us here at UR but please tune in again soon for some more live coverage of the Aviva Premiership!
