Losing is in danger of becoming a habit for Sale as they came off second-best to a stellar Glasgow side who headed back north with a bonus-point win in this Investec Champions Cup opener. Alex Sanderson's hosts have already lost four games in the Prem and they let slip an early 14-0 lead to a visiting team packed with some of Scotland's finest talent. The Warriors showed their mettle to score four tries and condemn Sale to another bitterly disappointing home loss.
As responses go to what has been a difficult few weeks for Leinster, this was as emphatic as it gets, as Leo Cullen's side demolished the holders Glasgow Warriors to book their place in the URC final for the first time.
