Sale Sharks boss Philippe Saint-Andre was full of praise for new signing Luke McAlister after the former All Black put an end to the Sharks losing run on the road.
McAlister had a hand in his new side's first try in the opening few minutes
and then kicked three second-half penalties as Sale beat Worcester 34-15.
Following the match, Saint-Andre hailed McAlister as a "terrific signing" and believes he will form a potent combination with first five and former England international Charlie Hodgson.
"Luke McAlister is a world-class player, and it is so much easier when you have a player on the pitch like him," Saint-Andre said.
"It is a terrific signing for us. He and Charlie Hodgson are two of the best playmakers in the world.
"Charlie is back to his best, and we have a good mix. We need to cross fingers now that we don't get too many injuries.
"When we have the ball we looked so dangerous, but sometimes we didn't keep the ball enough. We lacked patience.
"To win away though, is a good feeling, and our biggest challenge is to finish in the top four - that is our target.
