Northamptn 29 Worcester 10

NORTHAMPTON SAINTS finally ended their Franklin’s Gardens losing streak in their last game of 2020, beating Worcester Warriors 29-10 on Boxing Day.

Dan Biggar was in the thick of the action, scoring one try and setting up another for Alex Mitchell after finding himself in the sin bin.

And Northampton, who had previously lost all eight Gallagher Premiership home games in 2020 and had not won anywhere s i nce beating London Irish at The Stoop in August, finished the job with Mike Haywood pocketing a late bonus-point score.

Fly-half Billy Searle was responsible for all of the Warriors’ 10 points, but ultimately played second fiddle to Biggar, who scored after Mitchell returned the favour in the second-half.

Worcester now sit bottom of the Premiership table, having lost their last three games.
