After two weeks of European rugby it's life back in the Aviva Premiership for round 10 and there was drama in the Midlands derby while Saracens humiliated London Welsh by scoring 11 tries and Wasps started their new era in Coventry and much more.
Sale Sharks 18 - 11 Exeter Chiefs
Exeter seem to not like traveling up north after losing to Newcastle in round five and now Sale as Danny Cipirani shone of the Sharks in front of England head coach Stuart Lancaster.
Despite going down to 13 men the hosts only lead 6 – 3 at
the break, but things changed in the second half as Cipirani set up the first
try of the game as his injection of pace set up Mark Cueto to score.
Then the fly half set up his own try as he had Cueto and
Will Addison in support then quick hands from the latter passing back to Cipirani
to score.
The Chiefs were able to score a try of their own with Thomas
Waldrom crashing over from a rolling maul.
Sale Sharks

Penalties: Cipriani (2)
Exeter Chiefs

Harlequins 15 - 7 Newcastle Falcons
Harlequins will be happy to get a win before facing Northampton next week at Twickenham.
The boot of Tim Swiel was the key factor separating the two
sides despite Alesana Tuilagi bulldozing his way over to give Newcastle the
lead at half time.
However, poor discipline by the Falcons were punished by
Swiel as the 21 year old South African kicked four penalties in 12 minutes in
the second half.

Northampton Saints 23 - 19 Leicester Tigers
Even though Northampton were down to 14 men for most of the game with captain Dylan Hartley sent off for elbowing Matt Smith however, the Saints were still able to pull off a famous victory over their Midlands rivals Leicester.
With the extra man advantage the Tigers scored the first try of
the game through a penalty try but the hosts kept in touch with Stephen Myler
scoring two penalties to make the score 6 – 7 at half time.
Saints finally got their first try of the game in the second
half as the ball went wide for Alex Waller to score giving them the lead.
The Tigers then regained the lead as Vereniki Goneva crashed
over, however it didn’t last long with Ben Foden showing some great pace to
score to give Northampton the lead again.
The visitors fought back with Miles Benjamin stepping on the
gas and when the ball went wide to Goneva the winger had a simple score making it three tries
in 10 minutes. However, with three minutes to go Jamie Elliott finished off a
brilliant team move to score to send Franklin’s Gardens rocking.
