20'Faf de Klerk makes a lovely break as Newcastle scramble defensively. de Klerk passes to McGuigan who steps one before he is tackled and then drops the ball.
19'3-0 Penalty goal - AJ MacGinty , Sale Sharks
16'Sale lose the line out. Shocker. Takalua boots to safety.
16'Sale Sharks drive from the line out as the referee plays a penalty advantage. De Klerk goes for a low percentage chip kick but it doesn't come off, and Sale have the penalty. They turn down the points and go for the corner.
14'Big scrum needed from Newcastle here. And they get it as Faf de Klerk makes a nuisance of himself at the base. Takalua clears to touch near the 22.
12'McGuigan gets it again and beat the tackle and slams the ball down on the try line. It's going to be tight, TMO wants to have a look. Lost control, scrum five.
12'Player substituted - Callum Chick , Newcastle Falcons
12'Substitute on - Nili Latu Langilangi , Newcastle Falcons
10'Addison runs 60 metres before finding McGuigan in support. The Sale winger is tackled on Newcastle's 22.
10'Dropped ball one off the ruck and Sale counter.
8'Solid scrum from Newcastle and they charge it up through midfield.
6'Sale scrambling after Alan MacGinty's kick is charged down. A Sharks player gets back to save the day but he's carried the ball back into his in goal. Scrum five, Falcons.
4'At least they are out of the rain ...
4'And he botched it, Newcastle ball. But now Sale have it back.
2'Takulua clears it to touch from the restart. First line out to Sale as Neild looks to get it on the money from the off.
2'Conditions a bit average, was heaving down earlier as Sale kick off.
1'Will Addison leads Sharks on to the AJ Bell turf.
1'Out come Falcons first in a pretty ordinary grey and green striped away shirt. Lets hope their performance is better than their jerseys.
1'No late changes to either side.
1'Hello and welcome to the live commentary of the opening match of round two of the Aviva Premiership as Sale Sharks host Newcastle Falcons.
