Northampton beat Saracens in pulsating cup tie

Premiership Rugby Cup: Northampton Saints 58-34 Saracens

Northampton beat Saracens in a pulsating Premiership Cup tie which saw 15 tries and 92 points shared.

Saints host Quins next on Tuesday, while Sarries welcome the Exiles in the competition on 17 October. A lightning counter-attack from a misplaced Manu Vunipola pass led to the second Saints score just four minutes later through Frankie Sleightholme. Adejimi reduced the arrears after a powerful maul on 22 minutes but Sleightholme collected a lovely offload from Matavesi to register his second try with the final play of the half, ending another slick counter-attack to make it 29-12 at the turnaround.
