Northampton Saints scored 28 unanswered points to come from behind and overcome a stubborn Gloucester 28-14 at DPD Stadium at Franklin's Gardens. Gloucester had the better of the opening exchanges with tries from Max Llewellyn and Will Joseph opening up a 14-point lead, before Tom Pearson responded for Saints. Curtis Langdon's effort on the verge of half-time brought the scores level, but it took until the final quarter for Saints to really seize control of the game.
George Hendy added a third try after a pinpoint pass from Anthony Belleau before Rory Hutchinson's late score put the game beyond the visitors, but England fans will be concerned after Northampton scrum-half Alex Mitchell was forced off with a hamstring injury during the first half. Victory moves Northampton up to third in the table, level on points with Gloucester in second as the Prem takes a four-week break.
