Exeter ended a four-game losing run to go into their final game on a positive note. Nic Sestaret scored for the visitors but Chris Bell replied for Sale to help the sides to go into half time level at 10-10. Matt Jess and Wame Lewaravu added one more each for Sale, before Tom Hayes and Will Addison crossed for Exeter.

Sale's safety from relegation was secured with the losing bonus point. Exeter's future is less secure as they face an RFU tribunal hearing on Wednesday for fielding an ineligible player, for which they could be docked points.

What we need to do is get back to basics in the summer and we need to create a team ethic here." Sale director of rugby Steve Diamond.
