Manchester ‘old boy’ Sam James has been nominated for the Aviva Premiership Try of the Week!

Sam graduated from the Manchester rugby club and this season is his first full campaign in the Sharks squad. The try came in last Sunday’s 20-13 home win against Northampton and was the 21 year-old's first try in the competition.
"It was a bit of luck I think, I got lucky with the bounce. It popped up to me and I managed to keep hold of it and get the score."

Anyone who was at the game or who saw the try on TV will know that Sam was being just a little modest about his summing up!

Sale were outstanding in the first half as Sam acknowledges: "In the first half we executed everything we came out to do, a couple of passes went astray and we missed some scoring opportunities but we did very well in the first 40.
"The forwards were outstanding second half, they worked really hard to stop them from scoring in the last minute.
"We all dug in deep, we were building up to this game wanting to get the win. We were not going to settle for a point, we all worked hard for each other and eventually we got the win we deserved."
