    FT: Harlequins 17-26 Sale

    Harlequins head coach Jason Gilmore speaking on Premier Sports: "It was just a frustrating game. A lot of penalties in that first half, could not get any territory, or good ball.

    "Even in the second half with some rhythm, it was messy at the breakdown. To score three tries to two and lose a game on penalties is hugely frustrating."

    FT: Harlequins 17-26 Sale

    Sale's Tom Roebuck speaking on Premier Sports: "We saw the effect of the wind in that first half so we wanted to be at our physical best, because the kick game we often go to was not as effective with this wind.

    "The forwards earned those tries with the graft that they put in, I am more than happy for those boys to score tries.

    "We are happy to take on either team (next week), just focus on us, and at our dominant physical best we will give them a challenge."

    Luke Cowan-Dickie, who scored Sale's two tries, looked to have hurt himself near the end and he's told Premier Sports the latest: "I am not 100% (sure), but I have damaged my forearm in some shape. I’ll get some scans and see what has happened, it is throbbing a bit, there is a bit of movement, hopefully just a dead arm.

    "We saw more of a Sale Sharks performance today, we weathered some of their lightning bolt moments and came away with a win."

    Sale fly-half George Ford speaking to Premier Sports: "It's huge. Our Prem campaign has not gone as we would have liked, but we’ve had a decent run in Europe. This was a tough game, they are in a similar position to us so we are delighted to win and excited for next week.

    "We can look to the future all we want, but we have not been good enough to do that. We just need to focus on getting better and improving, if we do that we will put decent positions in the long run.

    "The start was massive, into the wind and we wanted to build a score and exert pressure. Going in at 16-0 up was good, Quins came back in the second, we had some ups and downs but found a way to win in the end."

    George Ford boots the ball to the stands behind his own line, and Sale are into the last eight.

    Harlequins were excellent after the break and ran in some superb tries, but they left themselves too much to do after a lacklustre first half.

    Rodrigo Isgro bursts down the right and feeds Chandler Cunningham-South, but he cannot hang onto the ball under tenacious defence, and the ball squirts out of his control.

    Last knockings now.

    It is going to have to take something remarkable for Quins from here, and they are trying everything from deep in their own half.

    Dan du Preez looks to have sealed the win for Sale, crashing over from close range....but the number eight drops the ball before touching down!

    Clumsy, and he tried to cover his tracks with a second attempt. 0/10.

    The referee isn't happy with the scrum and resets right on the Quins line with Sale threatening.

    Sale are pinning the hosts back to the corners and eating up valuable time.

    Harlequins 17-26 Sale

    George Ford sends a grubber kick to the flag, Alex Wills cannot hold on to it and then tries to delay proceedings by hanging onto the ball too long.

    Ford then tries to find the opposite corner, but Lucas Friday runs it back at Sale from deep in the Quins 22.

    Harlequins 17-26 Sale

    Harlequins have been excellent since the break and deserve to be right back in it.

    Meanwhile, Sale's hooker and two-try man Luke Cowan-Dickie trudges off, possibly with a dislocated shoulder. He was grabbing his arm as he left the field.

    Alex Dombrandt

    Jarrod Evans chips over the top after a rampaging run from Chandler Cunningham-South. Tom O'Flaherty spills the ball over the try line, and Alex Dombrandt splashes down to send the home fans wild.

    But - Marcus Smith, kicking into the wind, misses the conversion and Sale lead by nine.

    Harlequins 12-26 Sale

    Marcus Smith is close to breaking through near the 22, but a tap-tackle takes his momentum away. Sale's Tom O'Flaherty kicks downfield, but a follow-up from Sale is spilled and Quins have another chance to make some inroads from a scrum.

    Things seem to be going Harlequins' way - they are getting the decisions now, to the fans' delight, and putting Sale under much more pressure.

    Harlequins 12-26 Sale

    'Just' two converted tries needed, 20 minutes to go, the home fans in full voice - plenty for Quins to get their teeth into.

    Sale have dipped a bit in the last few minutes, can they get back to their levels of earlier?

    Wonderful footwork from Jarrod Evans buys some space for Alex Dombrandt to rampage in from the 22, despite a last-ditch effort from Tom O'Flaherty.

    Marcus Smith lands a tough conversion - Quins are battling back!

    Harlequins 5-26 Sale

    And just to rub it in, Jack Kenningham was sent to the sin bin for an infringement during the build-up to that last try.

    But Quins are far from done, Marcus Smith and Nick David making sniping runs into Sale's half.
