The Northampton Saints cruised to a 27-3 away win over London Irish in round 15 of the Premiership. Saints opened the scoring with a penalty midway through the first half, but a penalty for London Irish on the stroke of halftime saw the scores deadlocked 3-3 at the break after a tight opening forty minutes. Saints crossed for the games first try ten minutes into the second half to lead 8-3. Ill discipline from London Irish saw Saints take control of the match with two penalty tries and two yellow cards reduced the hosts to just 13 players for a time.
