SALE Sharks recorded a famous win at Biarritz which meant they topped Group A and now qualify for the Quarter Finals in April. Rob Miller's last minute kick also guaranteed a home tie as Sharks are the fourth seed - level on pts with Brive but we have scored more tries.

Sale had already beaten Biarritz in round one at the AJ Bell Stadium last October but winning at Biarritz's home ground was a tough ask.

Sharks had trained well all week and flew out from Manchester to Bilbao the day before the game before taking a coach up the coast to Biarritz.

Considering it was an away fixture the Sharks supporters were making more noise than the home supporters and this was lifting the players.

The home side took the lead on 18 minutes when Ngwenya was on the end of a clever chip through by Peyrelongue to touch down 0-5. Peyrelongue converted the try from in front of the posts 7-0.

Sharks hit back within two minutes when Rob Miller struck a long range penalty to reduce the arrears to 3-7. Miller reduced the arrears even further on 25 minutes when he kicked his second penalty after Biarritz failed to release the ball in a ruck. 6-7.

Rob Miller had the chance to put Sale into the lead on 32 minutes but his kick hit the outside of the post and the ball bounced over the dead ball line 6-7.

On 77 minutes Sale had the chance to win the game after Yachvili had strayed offside but Miller's kick drifted wide 6-7. A minute later Jon Mills was taken out by what looked like an elbow by a Biarritz forward. Sale were awarded a penalty which Miller converted to give Sharks a famous victory and a place in the Quarter Finals.
