But for Harlequins the abject misery and humiliation continues after a shocking second-half capitulation as they surrendered a 17-12 interval lead to ship 31 unanswered second-half points. Sanderson, Sale's director of rugby, had seen his side lose their previous four games and surrender vital ground in the race for a play-off place.
