Every time I see Quirke come on for Warr I see a fair step-up in standard. IF fit, he has to start, surely?

Here's hoping he stays fit and gets a good run of games.

Looks like Burrow is becoming a feature in the 2nd row.

Burrow is coming on really well. Third start in a row and already been involved in 13 games this season with this one.

Hopefully Ollie D can get some more time off the bench.

Quirke and R du Preez getting absolutely schooled by Mitchell and F Smith. Saints just seem to be controlling territory and momentum.

Saints were very good. Lots to like about the way they attack. A number of good performances from their England players. LCD stood out for Sale who could do with Ford and Carpenter back sharpish.

Been a good couple of weeks to be a Saints fan - lovely stuff.

Not sure I've ever seen Tom O'Flaherty have a bad game - such a decent player

To be fair the O'Flaherty interception try was an absolute beauty.
