SOLO RUN

-

Rhys Priestland (right) broke the Premiershi­p record for most consecutiv­e successful kicks in February. It was jointly held by Jonny Wilkinson and Mark van Gisbergen with 28, but the Bath fly-half slotted his 29th at Northampto­n and extended the run to 36 before missing.

Paul Grayson also had an interestin­g streak in a five-game spell in December 1997 to January 1998, when he scored 57 successive points for Northampto­n in the Premiershi­p without any other team-mate getting on the scoresheet.
