A chance to see how Dwayne Peel was settling in at Sale. He had a pretty good game and in typical Peel fashion took a quick tap penality to set-up the first Sale try. It was a fiesty game with Sale's Chabal and Bath's Justin Harrison stoking up both packs. Seabass was sin binned for foul play off the ball.
The home side are one of the form side's in the English Premiership at the moment but Sale more than matched them. It was also interesting to watch Bath's jumbo sized winger Matt Banahan. He's a converted forward and at about 6ft 7 ins and 17 stone he's one big lump in the Bath backline. Banahan played a crucial role in the outcome of the game. He was involved in both home tries. He lent his weight to a forward drive to the line and helped number 8 Browne score under the posts. Sale responded through Mark Cueto with two tries and it looked like they would run out deserved winners.
With very little time left Bath turned over ball in Sale's 22 and a neat kick-pass landed in Banahan's hands for a late winning try. If Banahan keeps on improving and gets a run in the England team he may even get selected for the Lions tour.
My man of the match: Matt Banahan
