Northampton 47 - Sale 7: Saints set for play-off
NORTHAMPTON guaranteed themselves a Premiership play-off place after storming to a bonus-point victory against Sale Sharks.
Saints were 25-0 up at the break after tries from Tom Wood, Lee Dickson and Luther Burrell, with Stephen Myler booting 10 points.
After the break, Jamie Elliott and Ryan Wilson both grabbed a brace to cap a fine victory.
James Gaskell’s late try gave Sale a consolation in the final seconds but the visitors, having secured safety with a stunning 32-9 win over Gloucester last week, were unable to hit such heights again as the Northampton fans celebrated wildly.
