Leeds Carnegie 3-6 Sale Sharks Leeds Carnegie 3-6 Sale SharksNick Macleod kicked two second-half penalties as Sale Sharks came from behind to clinch a narrow victory at Headingley.Macleod's Welsh compatriot Ceiron Thomas kicked Leeds into a lead early in the second half but missed two further penalties, notably from just inside the Sale half eight minutes from the end, to leave Leeds at the foot of the Premiership table, without a win from their first six games. Sale head towards mid-table after a third victory of the season, which was hardly inspiring but enough to overcome the Yorkshire side.There was further worry for the Leeds head coach Neil Back and his World Cup winning team-mate Martin Johnson, the England manager, as Hendre Fourie failed to return for the second half after suffering a rib injury. The South Africa-born flanker will wait for the diagnosis having already missed out on a possible debut on the summer tour to Australia due to a calf injury.There was better news for Johnson as Mark Cueto and Andrew Sheridan for Sale, and Steve Thompson of Leeds, emerged relatively unscathed ahead of the England squad meet-up on Monday for the build-up to the autumn internationals.The first half was a fierce, if uninspiring, battle. Thomas missed a 16th-minute penalty on his return from bench duty during the European break, and on the three occasions Leeds forced their way into the opposition 22 they turned over possession, with Fourie and the centre James Tinknell guilty of spilling the ball.Sale, with the England wingers Ben Cohen and Cueto on either flank, were content to let Leeds have the ball, with their strong defence repelling everything the Yorkshiremen threw at them in a scoreless first half.Despite Fourie's absence at the start of the second half, Leeds belatedly got the scoreboard ticking over three minutes in through a Thomas penalty. Macleod levelled on 50 minutes after Charlie Hodgson had struck a post with a drop goal when the French referee Jerome Garces had allowed advantage.Macleod booted Sale ahead on 58 minutes and would have extended that lead had a 60m penalty shortly after not hit an upright. From closer in Thomas pushed a kick wide on 72 minutes, after which the hosts began to get desperate.Leeds were guilty of poor passing that will have frustrated Back and the director of rugby Andy Key, who are trying to initiate a more free-flowing game at Headingley. But Sale, led by Neil Briggs for the first time, were never really threatened and hung on.PremiershipLeedsSaleRugby unionguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
