A Rugby World Cup 2015 Puma scored the opening try for the Newcastle Falcons on Friday. Juan Pablo Socino scored off a freak cross bar rebound against the Sale Sharks. The early score gave the Falcons a dream start to their round 14 match.
The match went on to be a thriller. Playing at home the Sale Sharks sealed a 26-24 win, an important outcome to decrease Sale’s slight relegation risk. The Falcons sit in 7th position, one below the requirement to qualify for the European Champions Cup.
