Highlights: Bath Rugby v Sale Sharks

Bath edged Sale Sharks in a 16-14 nail-biter at the Rec.  Rhys Priestland who opened the scores with nine minutes on the clock. Bath were awarded a penalty when Sale’s, James Phillips was caught offside. Six minutes later Priestland stretched Bath’s lead out to six after another penalty was given when Sale failed to roll away in the tackle and that's how it would stay for the rest of the half. Priestland and Joseph combined nicely with the centre scoring Bath's opening try in the 60th minute after a nice run from Tom Homer. Nine minutes later Sale returned the favour and after a very well executed driving maul Akker van der Merwe, Sale were dominating and scored two minutes later after a few collisions which allowed Bryon McGuigan to find space to crash over. With ten minutes, Bath were awarded a penalty and Priestland stepped up to give Bath the lead and ultimately the win.
