And a big difference in the second half was that Ford was putting the ball in good positions a little more - still giving Sale plenty to run back with of course.
Cockerill's take:
"I thought Sale played really, really well and put us under a huge amount of pressure, and we dealt with that sin-binning in the first half.
"We thought it was a pretty soft try to concede, but we were under pressure the whole time and didn't have any ball in the first half.
"They were very good for their lead at half-time, but I thought our boys kept their composure. It's a good win as they were obviously desperate for the win."
