Gloucester vs Sale LIVE! Cherry and Whites look snap losing streak with win before league break

A scoreline which reflects Gloucester's dominance this afternoon. A fine performance, especially in the first half.

And that will end the game.

Albert Tuisue leant over and stole a ball at the breakdown to ensure there will not be a nervous end to the game for Gloucester.

Sale have been very successful during power plays this year but they haven't even threatened during this period and the teams will be 15 vs 15 again shortly.

Du Preez kicks over the conversion and Sale will feel they have a sniff. For the next six-and-a-half minutes they have their 15th man back on the field too. They have been the best team in the league during power plays.

Taylor dives over after Sale had been camped on the Gloucester line for a couple of minutes.

He goes off and for the moment it is 14 vs 14.

They have a chance to score now.

Gloucester re-establish their 16-point lead.

He got to a ball too soon and toppled over Carreras as he jumped to gather a high ball. The referee's card was immediately out and dissipated a potential on-field squabble.

The margin reduces down to two converted tries.

Gloucester have had some cruel luck in their losing Premiership Rugby run, but they are getting some today. Here a Sale move was blocked when Clarke stretched out his big size 18 boots to block a pass from Warr.

What a warrior this guy is.

Gloucester were under pressure but an errant take from a lineout saw them gather the ball and the #9 kicked them near the halfway line.

But Gloucester have to be delighted with that half of rugby.

Replays show Dugdale got there by just a fraction to touch the ball down before the Gloucester #15.

What a blow for Sale just before the break. Dugdale was slow to get back and Carreras seemed to stretch around him and touch the ball down after chasing his own kick.

The Sale winger is dazed and the video referee is checking whether it was a legal tackle. Thorley gives away a tackle for stripping the ball. Veainu will be assessed off the field.

The hosts have a bonus point before the halfway mark.
