The Samoan flier struck in typically predatory fashion in the 37th minute, touching down in the left corner after a brilliant break from former Sale centre Elvis Seveali'i.
However, the victory was marred by what appeared to be a serious leg injury sustained by wing Adam Thompstone early in the second half, and he was taken off on a stretcher clearly in distress.
Tagicakibau's try had helped Toby Booth's men into a 11-5 lead after a first half in which Sale battled gamely and briefly led when Welsh prop Eifion Roberts touched down in the 30th minute.
A penalty from Sale's stand-in fly-half Nick Macleod cut the gap to three points shortly after the restart, but Irish - again expertly guided around the field by scrum-half Paul Hodgson - held out with relative comfort for their fourth win in five games.
