Yarde treble sends Sharks second, Wasps rout Sarries
Marland Yarde was in fine form as Sale Sharks went second in the Premiership table in style against Leicester Tigers.
Sale Sharks moved up to second in the Premiership with an easy 36-3 win over Leicester Tigers.
Second-bottom Leicester took the lead through Noel Reid’s penalty but it was all downhill thereafter.
Marland Yarde’s try was sandwiched between efforts from Bryn Evans and Coenie Oosthuizen as Sale took command and the wing scored each of the Sharks’ second-half tries to complete his hat-trick.
Wasps routed already-relegated Saracens 60-10 in Friday’s other game to go seventh.
Zack Kibirige and Brad Shields crossed for doubles while Jimmy Gopperth tallied 20 points with the boot as Wasps went level with Gloucester on 23 points in the fight for the European Challenge Cup places.
