Noah Caluori repeats five-try display as Saracens demolish sorry Sale

• Sale 19-85 Saracens

• Visitors score 13 tries in rout

There was a time when Sale were largely unbeatable at home, their uninviting base on the outskirts of Salford inhospitable to visitors and a fortress to Alex Sanderson’s players. Not any longer.

Not for the first time this season, Sale were reduced to Mancunian rubble in front of their own supporters as they slipped to a record Prem defeat while Saracens romped to a record Prem victory. Sanderson is a passionate, engaging rugby man but scrutiny will now increase on a tenure stretching over five years which has seen Sale’s ambitious owners spend big without reward.
