Harlequins suffered a crushing blow as Northampton beat them 24 – 3 at the Franklin’s Garden. This was the second defeat that Harlequins have suffered in the Aviva Premiership and was a rather bad one.
This win over Harlequins has now consolidated their position at the third place in the standings – with this win the latest in a dream run of matches for Northampton in the Aviva Premiership. It was their two star players, Roger Wilson and Ben Foden, who combined brilliantly all match in order to crush the Harlequins. Ryan Lamb also contributed fourteen points.
Rory Clegg kicked the Harlequins only goal from their side, but won’t hae enjoyed it -he had a horrible day at work and will hurt all the more because he would love to see his team back on track and on its winning ways.
