Sale are a Manu down but clinch play-off spot
MEN on Sunday
|May 19, 2024
SALE survived the loss of Manu Tuilagi to clinch a Gallagher Premiership playoff spot thanks to a 20-10 upset win at Saracens.

SARACENS 10
SALE 20
Tuilagi, who was celebrating his 33rd birthday, has almost certainly played his last game in a Sharks shirt after he was forced off with a hamstring injury after 17 minutes.
Initial indications from the club were that the centre's campaign was over and he would miss the semi-final against Bath on June 1 and a possible Twickenham final before his move to Bayonne in France.
Saracens' defeat condemned them to a last-four knock-out game on the road against Northampton on May 31 after they had been favourites for a home tie.
And it also meant this was the last home game for Owen Farrell, plus Billy and Mako Vunipola before their summer moves.
