Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kaore a Nathan Hines i te hiahia ki tetahi whaainga Aviva Premiership i te mea kei te haere tonu a Sale Sharks ki te whakarite i te tohu o te Ipu o te Ipu o Europi. I tēnei wā kei te whitu a Sale i te tēpu o te Pirimia - kotahi te tūnga i tua atu i te whakamana i tētahi tūnga o te Champions Cup i te wā e whai ake nei - e rima ngā kēmu e toe ana. Ka tīmata te wāhanga whakamutunga o te pakanga ā-whare a ngā Sharks ki ngā manuhiri o Gloucester i te Rātapu, ā, kei te tatari ētahi atu tūtakitanga ki London Irish, Harlequins, Newcastle me Exeter. Kāore a Nathan Hines i te hiahia ki te whai i ngā tohu i te mea kei te haere tonu a Sale ki te whai i ngā tohu Pākehā. Ahakoa e kore e taea e Sale te tuku atu i ngā hapa i te wā whakamutunga o te tau, kāore a Hines, te kaitiaki o mua o ngā Sharks i Scotland, e titiro atu ana ki tua atu i te whakaeke i a Gloucester. 'Kāore au i te mōhio he aha te mea ka eke ai mātou ki te ono o runga,' i mea ia. 'Ko te mea anake e mohio ana ahau ko te hiahia tatou ki te riro i nga kēmu katoa. Ki te whakaaro tatou ki te maha o nga kēmu e hiahia ana tatou ki te wikitoria, ka ngaro taua mea. 'Kei te whakaaro noa mātou ki a Gloucester, kia wikitōria i tērā, kia tuhi i tērā, kātahi ka neke atu ki tērā. Koinei te huarahi pai, tino whai hua hoki ki te titiro ki a ia, i te pono. Ko te haurua o Danny Cipriani kua whakaritea mo te hokonga o Sharks i muri i te mahi a Ingarangi. 'E mōhio ana ahau he kōrero noa iho te kōrero i te kēmu kotahi i te wā kotahi, engari ki te tīmata koe ki te hora i tō arotahi ki ngā mea maha rawa, ka taka koe. Ko te mea nui kia kaua e manukanuka mēnā ka wikitōria tātou, ā, ka hinga tētahi atu. He nui ake te āwangawanga ki tō tātou ake mahi hei rōpū, hei takitahi. Ko te mea nui kia tika ai ā tātou ake mahi.' I hoki mai a Danny Cipriani o Ingarangi ki te koti 10 o Sale i te Ratapu, i te wa e tiimata ana te pokapū o Brendan Macken mo Gloucester, e whakaatu ana i te taha o Billy Twelvetrees o Ingarangi i waenganui.
He iti noa te hiahia o Nathan Hines ki tetahi whaainga tohu i te Aviva Premiership. I tēnei wā kei te whitu a Sale i te tēpu, kotahi te tūnga i muri i te tohu Pākehā. Ka hoki mai a Danny Cipriani mō te hokinga mai i muri i tana mahi ā-motu mō Ingarangi.
