It was Saints 37 Wasps 17 on Saturday on Franklins Gardens, a result that felt like a breakthrough in so many ways.
Whether it was Taquele Naiyaravoro’s dominant big wing performance, Ollie Sleighthome marking his first senior moment by tearing down the wing and dotting down or Saints just properly getting the kind of win that feels like its been eluding them for seasons – take your pick of the breakthroughs achieved.
