McGinty gets us back underway

Although the scoreboard may not suggest a busy first half, don't let it mislead you. The Sharks are struggling a bit to get a hold on the game but that doesn't mean they haven't been playing hard. The Saints have done extremely well, turning balls over left, right, and centre. They have also been clinical in their attacks and showed that they're here to play. The Sharks will definitely need to re-analyze their game and see what they can achieve in the second half if the Northampton Saints continue their performance!

The ball is sent to Grayson who clears the ball out for touch to end the half!
