Russell’s deft handling sinks Sale as Bath burnish title credentials

Sale 23-32 Bath
Bonus-point defeat ends Sharks’ unbeaten home run

Finn Russell provided the inspiration as Premiership leaders Bath claimed an entertaining bonus-point win after edging out a Sale side missing eight England players owing to international commitments.

The Scotland fly-half was pivotal throughout and claimed 12 points with the boot to pass a century of points in the Premiership this season in a typically mercurial display that cemented his side’s status as title favourites.
