The Sale match of the season? Sale went down 13-0 to Gloucester in the Parker Pen semi-final at Franklins Gardens before pulling back to 13-13 at half time. The fightback continued in the second half with two more fantastic Sale tries.

But then Gloucester picked themselves up and climbed to within a point of Sale's total. In the final minute of normal time Ludo Mercier had a chance to win a place in the final for Gloucester with an easy penalty kick. But the pressure got to him and the kick drifted wide, handing a memorable victory to Sale.
