Newcastle began the second half trailing by 25 points against their hosts after conceding four converted tries in the first period. They fell further behind five minutes after the start when the Sale Sharks scored another converted try to lead 35-3.

The Falcons responded with a converted try four minutes later to reduce the deficit; however, the Sale Sharks scored the remaining points in the match to cruise to victory.

Newcastle lost 24-3 against the Bristol Bears, 28-14 against the Harlequins, and 42-10 against the Leicester Tigers earlier in the season.

The Newcastle Falcons will try to use their home-ground advantage to end their poor run of form; however, they have lost three in a row against the Exeter Chiefs.

However, the tide would turn in the favour of Bristol during the remainder of the contest, scoring four tries and three conversations to seal the victory.

Before that, the Exeter Chiefs lost 17-14 against the Leicester Tigers at home, 30-24 against Northampton away, and 29-14 against Saracens away.
