Last gasp for Saints

-

TOM COLLINS’ late try saw Northampto­n Saints steal a European Challenge Cup thriller at Dragons.

The Saints produced a stirring comeback to win 43-39, with Taqele Naiyaravor­o scoring twice before team-mate Collins’ final blow.

Northampto­n’s reward is a home quarter-final against Harlequins or Ulster, who meet tonight.

Newcastle also came from behind to edge out Ospreys 28-24 to make the last eight.

Ospreys led by 14 points before a penalty try along with efforts from Trevor Davison, Sean Robinson and Christoffe­l van der Walt sealed the visitors’ win.
