64 minutes gone and only one Saints try this half. The home team have lost some of the precision and creativity of the first half. Saints currently with a scrum inside the Sale half..

Jamie Elliot adds one more try to his tally this season. Courtney Lawes ploughs through a Sale maul on their own five metre line. He steals possession for his team in a critical position. The Saints then sweep the ball swiftly to the opposite wing. Elliot receives by the touch-line and slips in for the try .

The crowd applaud Tonga'uiha as he leaves the pitch. The big prop is off to France next season..

And just like the first half, Saints strike back quickly. They tear down the field and eventually Manoa bundles over. But Sale plea for a TMO decision as they believe a player was obstructed. TMO agrees and Manoa is denied the try.

Sale again commence the half in an encouraging fashion, racking up the phases in the Saints' twenty-two. Amesbury slips through space on the left wing and attempts to link with Haley. The pass is poor though and Haley knocks forward. Saints win a penalty from the ensuing scrum and boot downfield.

Cipriani clears the ball into touch, and the referee brings a close to the half. Saints playing beautiful, fluid rugby and are a try away from the bonus point. Sharks have shown a patchy performance so far. After an excellent start, they lowered the intensity and lost some structure to their defence. Looking very like a Saints bonus point victory..

Quick Statistic: Saints have made 8 visits to the opponents' twenty-two in contrast to Sharks' 2.

Saints starting to enjoy themselves out there. A poor pass dribbles into May's hands in the Sale twenty-two.He then delivers a perfectly waited kick in behind the defence. The ball looks to be dead-ball bound but a determined Burrell dives for it and dots down.

Quick thinking by Dowson earns his team another try. Saints win a penalty when Sale infringe at the ruck. The Sharks begin to retreat but Dowson opts for the quick tap and tears down-field to score from 30 metres!

Yet another penalty at scrum time gives Saints another lineout deep in Shark territory. Saint forwards oozing with confidence, and transmitting it to the rest of the team. The ball is fed to mid-field off the back of the line-out. Saints find a hole but Van Velze cant collect an offload and possession is lost.
