Northampton score a silky smooth backline try

BY Philip Bendon  ·  Saturday Dec 30, 2023

Currently 3rd and 4th respectively on the Gallagher Premiership table, Northampton and Sale are in the midst of a brutal battle at Franklin’s Gardens.

Sale have the advantage at the time of writing as they lead 17 – 7.

On the verge of truly running away with the match, Sale have shown their trademark physicality to get into a comfortable 17 – 0 lead.

However the Saints are not one of the top teams this season for nothing as one of their star performers George Furbank finished off a well taken try.

Running some exceptional lines, the Saints fractured the normally impenetrable Sale defensive line to get back into the game.

With twenty minutes to play it is now very much game on.
