For the panic of earlier, it looks like the lower two tiers are full and there's a decent chunk in the top tier as well. I'd say 60k plus, maybe even more. Not shabby at all for two teams who probably have smaller size regular stadia and fanbases.

Decent game so far as well, but still getting going. Farrell's done enough workmanlike good things to justify his inevitable man of the match award.

? poor game to date. accuracy score -5. Good crowd

Daly on.... good
I'm having fun?

Puja
fair enough but objectively a bit pants. 15 knock ons, 11 pens, 2 free kicks.

level pegging I guess.

The thing about Malins is that he’s such a natural winger with that killer instinct to attack through the middle.

We rag on Farrell quite a bit, and for good reasons, but he is having a decent game today. We would've been lauding that play to the skies had it come from one of our favourites.

Malins is having a storming game. Aaron Reed looks out of his depth on this stage but I guess that Sale can't sub him when there's a concern over Roebuck's knee.

Ford and Farrell going head to head is a fun watch. I suspect Ford would have been less than impressed with Manu getting stripped after Ford manufactured a massive gap for him to maraude through.

That was a great pass in traffic. The correct option despite it not being the obvious one, as always usual.

It was a nice draw and give to make a try. I liked it and it was basically the same on the gain-line good decisions that Ford was being praised for last week.

That kick was especially sexy and the flip pass of the loose ball too. Think he might actually be worthy of his MotM today.

I have not seen that much of Warr before today. I'm struggling to understand how he keeps Quirke on the bench.

What a difference Daly has made - so much more threatening than Maitland.

Agree. Goode and Malins have gone well too. Pearls among swine. Daly looking lively in his best position.

It was a ‘nice’ which is different to being worthy of ‘lauding’. Can’t comment on Ford last week. I made the mistake of choosing the Saracens vs Northampton match to watch.

Replay watched and it’s mostly just Manu being a plonker.

Prior to today, I was expecting him in the England training squad. He's doing his best to play his way out of it today.

Warr has been quiet so far. Quirke was barely in the semi final whilst Warr was pivotal. I don't think Quirke is fully up to speed after that last injury layoff.

Daly has made a big difference, at a guess I think Sarries wanted to use that impact in the second half when Sale were a bit more fatigued. With Daly and Dan on early that's the majority of the dynamic impact from Sarries bench on already.

Horror show from Daly there.

I love that the commentators on BT are praising Van Der Merwe's kick, when he was clearly looking to do a chip over and scuffed it.
