Northampton Saints demolished Bristol Bears 94‑33 at Franklin’s Gardens, the most lopsided score in Premiership history. George Hendy crossed four times, bookending a rout that left the Bears with only 33 points. The victory secured the Saints a semi‑final berth and pushed the record‑breaking total to 127 points.

Saints’ attack erupted early, nine tries before the break, and the team added five more after the interval. A sin‑bin for Bristol’s Kalaveti Ravouvou opened a flood of points, while the Bears managed five tries to claim a bonus point. The result leaves Bristol four points adrift of fourth‑placed Exeter.

The 127‑point aggregate eclipsed Richmond’s 118 in 1999, marking the highest‑scoring Premiership match ever. Northampton’s performance follows a heavy loss to Leicester, restoring confidence as they chase a home semi‑final. With only six points needed from their last two games, the Saints now focus on maintaining momentum.

Bristol’s defeat shatters their playoff hopes, leaving them four points behind Exeter with Saturday’s match against Harlequins still a distant possibility. The Saints, meanwhile, cap their season with a record‑breaking night that underlines their offensive potency and sets a high bar for rivals.
