Full time at Franklin's Gardens. Northampton get a hard fought win making it 4 on the trot and maintain momentum going into the Premiership. Castres looked like they might have snatched it with a good performance away from home. They will look forward to their home fixture at home with Leinster. Thanks for following with Ultimate Rugby.
