Two tries from Ollie Sleightholme helped Northampton beat Harlequins in a Franklin's Gardens thriller to win a fourth Premiership match of the season. The wing top and tailed Saints' night, with tries in between from Lewis Ludlam, Alex Mitchell and Alex Coles. Quins scored the opening try of the game through wing Cadan Murley before Jack Walker, lock George Hammond and Will Evans kept them in the game.
They overthrew a lineout inside their own 22 that Courtney Lawes pounced on for Saints before quick hands sent Ludlam over. Then on the stroke of half-time they failed to control the ball at the back of their own scrum 15 metres from their line and scrum-half Mitchell took the loose ball to kick ahead and dive over. Until then the sides had exchanged tries, with Murley's score in the left corner cancelled out by Sleightholme's first try as he picked a great line to go over from a lineout. Trailing 21-12 at half-time, Quins responded by sending Hammond into the right corner but Saints soon secured a try bonus point as a half-break from Mitchell led to Coles scoring under the post
