Match Commentary

81'50-21 End of second half
80'One last play for Saints to get a try bonus point but a Mallinder knock on cedes possession to Quins. Sums up Northampton's day. The hosts were big and deserved winners, but where now for Saints? Alan Gaffney has a big job on his hands.
79'Roberts has just put in a shuddering hit on Cobus Reinach on his own line. Took a while for the scrum half to get up.
75'Robshaw goes off for Luke Wallace, who coming on for his first appearance of the season gets a rousing ovation.

41'We're back underway at Twickenham. It's surely a case of damaged limitations for Saints now.
41'31-0 End of first half
40'Half time at Twickenham, and Northampton have it all to do. They look at team devoid of any confidence. Quins deservedly lead, and impressively, can they keep this up for another 40?

7'It's end to end stuff at the moment! First Mike Brown knocks on just metres from the Saints line following a lovely break from the fullback.
