Madness.

Sale managed to edge out Harlequins 30-29 in an absolute thriller this afternoon, taking advantage of a Joe Marler red card in the second-half for a dangerous clearou.

The loosehead prop was dismissed in the 57th minute for a late hit Sale replacement TJ Ioane and Quins, who scored their fourth try when down to 14 men, ultimately slipped to defeat after Faf de Klerk kicked a late match-winning penalty.

Marler now looks set to miss the start of England’s Six Nations campaign, with a ban probable. Have a watch below.
