Section Paloise 3 Sale Sharks 27

A much needed win in France, even if 39 minutes of the second half were entirely scoreless until Johnny Leota scored the bonus-point try. All now hinges on the visit of Newport-Gwent Dragons to the AJ Bell next Thursday.

Team	Played	Won	Drawn	Lost	For	Against	BP	Points
Dragons	5	4	0	1	146	79	4	20
Sharks	5	4	0	1	116	73	2	18
Castres	5	2	0	3	100	129	3	11
Pau	5	0	0	5	61	142	0	0

A win on Thursday should see Sale through as group winners. A five-pointer will definitely see us at the top, otherwise we have to ensure that Dragons don't get two bonus points. It's a pity, therefore, that this important match will quite likely see another tiny crowd.
