Wasps shatter Northampton's unbeaten start

By AFP
Sunday 10 Oct 2021

PREMIERSHIP WRAP: Wasps ruined Northampton’s unbeaten start to the 2021-22 campaign with a tense 26-20 victory on Sunday.

Sam Matavesi’s try gave Northampton the lead before Zach Kibirige crossed over for Wasps.

Dan Biggar and Jacob Umaga traded penalties, then Umaga booted Wasps ahead for the first time in Coventry.

Dan Robson scored from Thomas Young’s pass to put Wasps in control, leading 20-10 in the second half.

Wasps survived a controversial incident moments later when replacement hooker Gabriel Oghre escaped with a yellow card for a high tackle on Alex Mitchell.

Northampton closed the gap through captain Lewis Ludlam’s try.

But Jimmy Gopperth took the game away from the visitors with two penalties.

Northampton’s losing bonus point left them in third place, while Wasps’ second win this season moved them up to fifth.

* Meanwhile George Ford kicked three late penalties as leaders Leicester survived a scare against London Irish to preserve their 100 percent record.

And Saracens marked their Premiership homecoming by battling back from 3-17 down to beat Newcastle.
