Saints come from behind to beat in-form Gloucester

Late tries from George Hendy and Rory Hutchison gift Northampton Saints victory over stubborn Gloucester.

Tom Pearson try began the Saints comeback, with three further tries putting the game beyond Gloucester

Northampton Saints scored 28 unanswered points to come from behind and overcome a stubborn Gloucester 28-14 at DPD Stadium at Franklin's Gardens.

Gloucester had the better of the opening exchanges with tries from Max Llewellyn and Will Joseph opening up a 14 point lead, before Tom Pearson responded for Saints.

Curtis Langdon's effort on the verge of half-time brought the scores level, but it took until the final quarter for Saints to really seize control of the game.

George Hendy added a third try after a pinpoint pass from Anthony Belleau before Rory Hutchinson's late score put the game beyond the visitors, but England fans will be concerned after Northampton scrum-half Alex Mitchell was forced off with an unknown injury during the first half.
