Full Time: A tough end of season encounter saw the home side come out on top. A good fight back from Irish in the second half, after a below par opening forty minutes, allowed the hosts to squeeze out the win in the end. James O'Connor missed a few penalty kicks at the end to make the closing minutes a tense affair. Sale finish their season on a low with this defeat. A spurring first-half saw them in control of the game. But, they dropped their intensity somewhat and that proved costly, allowing Irish to grow into the game and eventually go on and win. Thank you for staying with out live coverage throughout this afternoon. From us at UR, Thanks.
