Sale Sharks director of rugby Steve Diamond has called on his team to be more consistent following their win over London Irish in the Aviva Premiership.

The Sharks clinched their third victory of the season on Saturday as they defeated the Exiles 36-8 on home turf.

After seeing his side struggle during the opening few weeks of the campaign, Diamond is eager for them to start stringing victories together.

"That's the Sale we know and that's what we want to see week in, week out," he told BBC Sport.

"I was really pleased with the performance. We just needed to put in more than a 40-minute performance. We probably got a 60 or 70-minute performance and I was disappointed to concede a try in the end as we looked so dominant.

"We need to get out of that rollercoaster, up and down inconsistency and be consistent. We can travel to Harlequins next week with no pressure on us."

Sale resume their campaign when they make the trip to Harlequins in the league next Friday night.
