Ben Curry has acknowledged that Sale Sharks are facing a critical situation as they aim to secure a spot in the Premiership play-offs following their impressive 41-5 victory over Exeter Chiefs on Sunday. Curry expressed optimism about the future of the team after ending their losing streak and returning to winning ways in the Premiership. The Sharks delivered a dominant performance, with Tom Roebuck scoring a hat-trick of tries at the Salford Community Stadium. This win marks Sale's first victory in the Premiership since December, positioning them back in contention for a play-off spot.

With just four rounds remaining in the competition, Curry emphasized the importance of every upcoming match being a "do or die" situation for the team. Director of rugby Alex Sanderson was pleased with the result but highlighted areas for improvement, mentioning the need for better execution in the final minutes of the game. Exeter Chiefs, on the other hand, missed an opportunity to climb up the standings and their director of rugby, Rob Baxter, expressed disappointment with their performance, particularly in the first half.

Despite the setback, Baxter remains optimistic and determined to bounce back in the upcoming matches.
