Fri 26th Dec 08 - 14:32
Sale Sharks staged a four-try spectacular in front of an Edgeley Park full house set the tone for the Festive season. They were three tries to the good in the first 24 minutes, thanks to Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe, Mark Cueto (on his 29th birthday) and Charlie Hodgson, with a lone Dave Walder penalty in reply. A second try for skipper Lobbe with six minutes to go sealed a great performance. Hodgson landed all five attempts at goal - four conversions and a penalty. The game signalled the return from injury of Oriol Ripol and Chris Jones: Luke McAlister came off with a shoulder injury, as a precaution, at half time.
