Saints come from behind to beat in-form Gloucester

Northampton fought back from a fourteen-point deficit to defeat Gloucester twenty-eight to fourteen at Franklin's Gardens, securing twenty-eight unanswered points. Tries from Tom Pearson, Curtis Langdon, George Hendy, and Rory Hutchinson fueled the comeback, while conversions from Anthony Belleau added to the tally.

The victory moves Northampton into a third-place tie with Gloucester in the standings as the league enters a four-week pause. Despite the win, England manager Steve Borthwick faces potential roster concerns after scrum-half Alex Mitchell exited the contest during the opening period due to a hamstring issue just prior to an upcoming fixture against Australia.

Early scores by Max Llewellyn and Will Joseph, converted by George Barton, had initially put the visiting squad ahead.
