"Sale fly-half George Ford's boot was vital and he kicked three penalties as well as converting Luke Cowan-Dickie's 33rd-minute try to give his side a commanding 16-0 lead at the break."
"Chandler Cunningham-South made a big impact for Quins in an improved second-half display and he got them on the scoreboard after 48 minutes."
"Sharks hooker Cowan-Dickie added his second before Alex Dombrandt's double gave Quins hope of a miraculous comeback - but they had given themselves too much to do."
Sale Sharks secured a 26-17 victory over Harlequins in the Champions Cup last 16. George Ford's kicking was crucial, scoring three penalties and converting a try. Sale led 16-0 at halftime, with Luke Cowan-Dickie scoring a try. Harlequins improved in the second half, with Chandler Cunningham-South scoring, but could not overcome the deficit. Alex Dombrandt's two tries provided hope, but Sale's lead was too significant. Sale will face the winner of the Leinster vs. Edinburgh match next weekend.
