Advertisement Sale lost newly selected British & Irish Lion Tom Curry to a leg injury in the first half as they matched their opponents with five tries but the exemplary goal-kicking of Handre Pollard proved the difference. This is not a welcome sight 😬 British & Irish Lions call-up Tom Curry has left the pitch early tonight. Hopefully the decision is only a precautionary move 🤞#GallagherPrem | #LEIvSAL pic.twitter.com/PJEwUtH0DA— Rugby on TNT Sports (@rugbyontnt) May 9, 2025 Pollard missed nothing, kicking three penalties and five conversions, with Adam Radwan also on Leicester’s try-scoring sheet. Rob du Preez scored two of Sale’s tries, with Luke Cowan-Dickie, Rekeiti Ma’asi-White and Arron Reed also crossing and George Ford converting three and adding a penalty. Sale deservedly led 26-16 at half-time and began the second half strongly but crucially missed a couple of opportunities to score. Hassell-Collins made them pay when he collected a cross-field kick from Pollard to finish in style and minutes later he scored his second after a mazy run to the line. Sale trailed by just a point with 18 minutes remaining but their errors and ill-discipline cost them as Ilione finished off a driving line-out, though the visitors immediately replied with a second try for Du Preez. In the final minute, Sale lock Jonny Hill was sin-binned and Tigers took full advantage when Ilione again finished off a driving line-out to leave Sale with just a single point. – © AFP 2025 Viewcomments Send Tip or Correction Embed this post To embed this post, copy the code below on your site Email “Tom Curry limps off one day after Lions call as Leicester beat Sale”.
