• Hooker Nathan Jibulu scored from a maul on 56 minutes soon after Clement was sin-binned for illegally bringing one down.
• George Ford converted Jibulu's try, added a penalty, and supplied the pass for Joe Carpenter before Hyron Andrews secured the bonus point late.
• Two Sale scores were overturned on review, with Bevan Rodd penalized for obstruction and Gus Warr denied for a forward pass.
• Ernst van Rhyn captained Sale for the first time, while Gloucester started Tomos Williams on his return and new signing Ross Byrne at fly-half.
