Thank you to our friends at Aviva Premiership for the following post and photo.
Sale Sharks director of rugby Steve Diamond was refusing to get carried away despite his side taking another step towards avoiding relegation from the Aviva Premiership on Sunday.
The Exiles on the other hand had lost five straight and this became six courtesy of Sharks replacement Nick Macleod knocking over a penalty eight minutes from time for a narrow 26-25 win.
Sale remain bottom but are now just one point behind London Irish with London Welsh only three points further ahead, but Diamond knows there is still a long way to go.
"It was always going to be that sort of game and them picking Henson at ten meant he was always going to be a real threat, as he proved during the game," he said.
"London Welsh are a good side and we'd thought we had got away just after half-time and they just came straight back with a penalty and then scored a try.
"So, like ourselves, they won't go without points until the end of the season.
"This is a fourth win on the trot for us - the momentum from the last three games has helped us and we've remained injury-free to a large extent.
"We're still bottom of the league and we've got Harlequins and Leicester coming up in the next fortnight so we've got a job on our hands.
"We are by no means out of the mire and we've just got to keep doing what we're doing and pick up points."
Elsewhere on Sunday London Wasps held on to fourth spot despite a late Gloucester Rugby fight back at Adams Park.
Dan Robson and Mike Tindall crossed for the Cherry and Whites but saw Ashley Johnson, Christian Wade and Billy Vunipola scores put the hosts in control.
But just as it looked as though Wasps were cruising to victory Ryan Mills and Charlie Sharples crossed late on to make for a nervy finish, although Dai Young's side held on for a 33-29 win.
On Saturday, life at Allianz Park in the Aviva Premiership got off to the dream start for Saracens and England prop Mako Vunipola - who proved his international credentials against Exeter Chiefs according to director of rugby Mark McCall.
The giant prop was released from Six Nations duty by Red Rose head coach Stuart Lancaster and crossed the whitewash on 53 and 70 minutes.
That, added to scores from Charlie Hodgson and Matt Stevens, kept the pressure on their title-chasing rivals with a 31-11 win over Chiefs, a result which proved they could make the transition to their new artificial pitch seamlessly.
"I thought Mako Vunipola was magnificent," he said. "He wasn't just good in the loose where he is as good as anybody, he was good in the tight as well. He scrummaged really well. He's already a special player.
"The pitch feels good and there is a temptation in certain situations where you might kick where it feels right to run."
Sarries though remain in second place in the Aviva Premiership table after Harlequins triumphed 25-21 over Leicester Tigers, with Quins director of rugby Conor O'Shea lauding another England hopeful Danny Care.
Scrum-half Care's brilliant individual try, in which he ran half the length of the field, proved the difference despite Toby Flood's 16-point haul and Adam Thompstone's try.
"The right reaction was to come back and perform for your club, that was world class out there, you're fortunate to be able to watch those types of moments," said O'Shea, who also saw Ben Botica kick 20 points
"From Stuart's [Lancaster] point of view he must be thinking 'I've got Ben Youngs and Danny Care, how lucky am I?'.
"From my point of view we love having him back. He got stuck in and got physical; looking at the team, we were physical, we were magnificent."
Elsewhere on Saturday Bath Rugby made it six wins on the spin - keeping alive their Aviva Premiership play-off charge with a 40-16 bonus-point win against London Irish.
Injuries to Stephen Donald and skipper Francois Louw dampened Bath's celebrations somewhat but a penalty try, followed by Nick Abendanon, Nathan Catt and Anthony Perenise tries, was enough for Bath to take the points.
Meanwhile Northampton Saints got back to winning ways with a 27-18 victory over Worcester Warriors, who were condemned to their fourth straight Aviva Premiership defeat.
It was all about the boot in the first half as fly-halves Andy Goode and Stephen Myler kicked the only points, Goode giving the hosts a three-point lead.
But Samu Manoa's 66th-minute effort and a late penalty try assured victory for the Saints who remain in the hunt for a top four berth.
