Sale 19 London Welsh 29: match report Redpath, who rejoined his old club from Gloucester in the summer, looked dejected afterwards. He praised Welsh for implementing a simple game plan and strongly criticised his team. Though he substituted Danny Cipriani 12 minutes into the second half for Nick Macleod, he spared the fly half from individual blame. "It's not Danny's fault at all - it was about us fronting up one to 15 and that did not happen," he said. Credit to London Welsh, they came and beat us fair and square. They grabbed a 13-0 lead and used a simple game-plan and we did not match it physically. Most of our game was not up to speed and that is a big issue. We will take the criticism because our performance was not good enough and we let a lot of people down who came along tonight. Welsh led 13-0 after only nine minutes, Mills touching down by the posts to go alongside two penalties from Ross. Cipriani, who missed his first penalty, did eventually find his range to keep Sale in the match by landing three penalties, only for the Welsh forwards to repeat a determined drive which ended in Jackson finishing off. Ross converted Jackson's try after kicking his third penalty and a fourth in the 48th minute looked to have given Welsh a winning lead at 26-9. Redpath then instigated a change by bringing on Macleod for Cipriani, but despite long periods of pressure Brady registered the only home try of the night. Macleod converted the 59th-minute score and added a penalty nine minutes later. However, Welsh's resilience proved to be the winning factor. Though Ross missed one kick his fifth penalty in the last minute sent the Sale fans home deeply unhappy.
