The visitors will be delighted with their lead of 14-3 going in at half time. Gloucester won't be panicking yet but will seriously need to up their game in the second half after a fragmented opening period. Their line out and scrum has been sloppy and Sale have capitalised on their errors. Burns has missed two penalties to narrow the gap as opposed to Arscott, who has nailed two tough kicks late on to extend The Sharks lead .
