"Sale Sharks wasted no time in getting on the board through Dugdale, who benefited from a lovely interchange between Jacques Vermeulen and Rekeiti Ma'asi-White as the Harlequins defence was caught narrow."
"The home side were unable to live with the visitors' speed of play and conceded again soon afterwards, with Longstaff powering his way over from close range after Quins were penalised in their own 22."
"Departing attack coach and club legend Nick Evans would have been heartened by his team's response, with the TMO adjudging Cunningham-South had forced his way over after an earlier two-on-one opportunity had gone begging."
"Sale sealed the win with four late unanswered scores from Dugdale, Tom Roebuck, and two for James Harper, wrapping up a deserved victory for Alex Sanderson's men."
Sale Sharks achieved their first league victory of 2026 by defeating Harlequins 52-33. The match featured multiple lead changes, with Sale initially scoring through Sam Dugdale and Alfie Longstaff.

Sale regained the lead with tries from George Ford and Tom O'Flaherty, but Harlequins fought back with scores from Hayden Hyde and Sam Riley. Ultimately, Sale sealed the win with four late tries, showcasing their attacking prowess and resilience after a previous heavy loss.
