Northampton v Bath - HIGHLIGHTS | SIX Try Rout at Franklin's Gardens | Gallagher Premiership 2022/23

No heat applied by Jack Mokepiece to the timing of the box kick and the interminable caterpillar. This is taken well by DeGlanville. What a line that is from Reid. Lovely support running and Bayless hits the gas on the outside. Lovely work from DeGlanville. This is one of the great tries from Barth this season. Bit of a swallow dive to finish.

Unexpected out of nowhere and the back row is combining down that right-hand flank to DeGlanville in and Barth have the opening score. That's a beautiful offload from DeGlanville. Not sure about the swallow dive. There's work to be done there. Yeah the ground off swallowed him up. Robbie Smith to Angerscot Young. Incremental headway being made.

Enough to satisfy the referee for the time being. Extra bodies applied. Still they rumble forwards and over. Robbie Smith with Northampton's first clinical efficient stuff from the forwards. This time it's Moon. Double-handed. Augustus.

Robbie Smith was the dummy runner. Augustus gets it done on the open side. Two for Saints. Slick work. What goes Reid? Dunn takes charge and the Barth pack begin to take charge. Here's Dunn. Saints down a man.

Barth skipper scoring. Yeah vital response from the forward pack having been a little bit embarrassed the last two times they were on their own line. This time they show what they can do. So having had a crack at a couple of line-outs Saints are going to keep this relatively simple. Waller sends it wide. Augustus to Graham. Shut down just short.

Augustus. Angerscot Young has got it. A chink of lights and the Australian burst through. Three for Northampton. Pivotal period right here. Barth down a man. Saints with a ten-point buffer.

Can they stretch that here and really turn the screw on the visitors? The options are looking pretty strong at the moment. Still they move. And they roll and they score. Again it's Smith at the bottom. Robbie Smith with the bonus point for Northampton is at the crunch point. Five meters out. Must take points.

McNally rises highest. Tom Dunn is wrapped around it. Spencer ushering them towards the tri-line. In comes Hamer Webb for a little bit of assistance. Nothing doing to the right. Perhaps they can spin to the left and work it. Tom Dunn has this.

Well his second, bar's third and just maybe something of a turning point for the visiting team. They've had nothing to show for their efforts in this second period. But the skipper again from the front. Change of pace and a change of power as well with the ball dislodged and Robbie Smith's tackle doing the damage. Northampton back in possession. Smith thinks it might be on here. Taken on by Dingwall.

Here's Ram. Lovely stepping. Pax Will Spencer gets the ball away as well. Sam Graham. Work here to do for Freeman. Threaded forwards. Collins dots down.

There's the turnover. The big carry. Hoechson just dislodges the ball. But then as they break, look at the little delays on the pass. Hold as soon as you bite on the tackle I give it. Spencer there just coming across and getting stepped back on the inside. That's the error.

But the decision knows he's got three players inside. And the fastest one wins the race. It's Tom Doughty. His first pre-match of appearance in six months. And a very important line out here for Johan van Graans men. Doughty has it. Could this be another try for the hookers this evening? It's looking that way.

There is a bonus point that depends on it. Doughty waits. Bides his time and drops over. A try bonus for Barth. And the game not definitively done just yet. Spencer. Kept tight.

Doughty. Oh, that's gone forwards from Yonka. And Northampton will drop on it. And they will try and launch quickly here. Braley. He's come on at nine. They've freed up Collins.

Three men around him. Collins punches it over the top. Looks for the currently barons. It evades him. But it does not evade James Grayson. Freshly onto the fields. Scoring the sixth of the night for Northampton.

And shortly wrapping this victory up.
