No surprises in that lot, but the best Leeds could hope for. Could be a Bridge too far for Tykes. A shame as I enjoy the trips up to Headingley.

Chances are they may still be up if Worcester don't get their way.

They nearly slipped against Bedford, but I highly doubt they'll make the same mistake against Pirates.


In much more important news, Bruce's last home game today.

Superb player and a true servant to the Saints!

As above - legend.

Hopefully he gets a proper send off unlike Charlie Hodgson did at Sale!

 

[Getofmeland]

Interesting at Franklin Gardens today!

What is happening?!
It's like opposite land!

3 - 24 at 20mins,

I put a cheeky £2 on Leeds to win by 1-12 points (to win £28), wish I'd gone for 13+ now, odds must've been insane

That yellow for the Leeds tighthead was a bloody terrible call - Waller infringed then the Leeds player got binned for doing absolutely nothing wrong.
Ridiculous.

 

[Getofmeland]

As it stands Northampton are out of the Playoffs and Leeds are staying up!

what a final day!! shame for leeds though

Really thought that Leeds were going to get that last try to draw (or at least get the BP) - wonder how many extra fans the Pirates just gained?



Also, how selfish is Chris Ashton? Saw at least two chances where there were definite tries if he'd have passed on but instead tried to go for the line himself
Had a much better second half though
