Sale Sharks edged Harlequins 12-11 in an attritional contest at the Salford Community Stadium to open their Premiership campaign with a victory.
Halfpenny, playing his first-ever Premiership match, kicked Quins in front from long range, but Ford's fourth penalty with six minutes left sneaked the win. The Quins pack lost just six of their own scrums last season, but Sale pressure forced them to concede a 17th-minute penalty against the head and Ford booted the hosts ahead.
Yet Quins coughed up a penalty straight from the restart and Ford’s third penalty, right on half-time, sneaked them back in front.Harlequins thought they had a second try when another driving maul crashed over the line, but a lengthy review by the TMO ruled it had been held up.
