How is anyone else affected? Its a semi final.
This is a tinpot. We are the ones who are remiss playing a
strong team against Exeter's kids.

I'm sure I read somewhere at the beginning of this season that
due to the World Cup and the late start of the Premiership
proper the clubs had agreed that players who are normally first
choice or thereabouts could have a run out. We seem to have more
or less done that and it looks as if Sale have too.

Agree with this. In a normal season I'd say it would be pretty
poor for a team to put out a largely full strength side, but
this year the pool games were used as pre-season games, so clubs
had to play some first choice players to give them game time. It
doesn't mean you have to do so in the knockout stages
admittedly, but in our case injuries rather forced our hand.
If we win with a full strength team I'll still be very happy as
it's so long since we won anything, but it wouldn't be the same
achievement as our younger players / squad players winning it in
a normal year.
After the start to our season though, maintaining momentum was
important and I suppose any win boosts confidence.

Should we have been sanctioned for the team we put out in the lv
semi against Bath a few years back?

Didn't we field a young side for the semi vs a full strength
Bath and the again in the final with a couple of injury
returnees vs a full strength Sale?

We did indeed. IIRC Luke Wallace captained the side. The props
were Kyle and Darryl Marfo who were just out of the Academy. And
Kyle may still have been in the Academy
