    Worcester 14-18 Sale

    Worcester's winning Premiership run came to an end at Sixways as Mark Jennings' late score saw Sale come back to triumph with 14 men.

    Sale's first away win of the season, against a side they have lost to just once in six seasons, was watched by banned director of rugby Steve Diamond on TV at the team hotel.

    It lifts them nine points clear of Worcester, who did at least pick up a losing bonus point.
