Northamptons Stephen Myler is just about to get us underway here again at Kingston Park where Newcastle lead Northampton 20 - 11

Haha we will be above bath soon

A bit of luck against wasps and it could have been 5 in a row today, including the last challenge cup game.

Northampton regain their own kickoff and attack wide right. A little grubber through from Myler runs into touch and Barnes blows for half time. Newcastle 20 Northampton 11.
