McGuigan chases and collects the ball at the halfway

The game is underway with a kick off from du Preez.

Its the third week of Premiership rugby and the Sale Sharks are going toe to toe with the Bristol Bears. Both teams have won and lost a game so far and both have 6 points sitting in third and fourth in the table. It's an anticipated game and an important one in terms of the early stages of the tournament. The loser will probably have a much lower table ranking by the end of the weekend. The Sharks have a bigger points difference at the moment and have that slight advantage on the table at the moment. My name is Ted Barber and I will be giving you today's match updates.
