By George Wellbelove Bristol Bears brutally dispatched Northampton Saints to give them their first defeat of the Gallagher PREM season. A brace from Kieran Marmion, supplemented by tries from Tom Jordan, Kalaveti Ravouvou, Aidan Boshoff and Luka Ivanishvili, swept away the away side, who will be wondering where it all went so wrong.

Tommy Freeman grabbed the headlines with four tries as Northampton Saints extended their unbeaten run against Saracens in a game for the ages. Saints looked to be running away with the game with three unanswered tries before the Londoners responded to remarkably take the lead at half time. The second half was nothing short of exhilarating, putting on a world class attacking clinic. The England contingent of Fin Smith, Henry Pollock, Fraser Dingwall, Alex Coles and Freeman were simply excellent.
