So many small things that make this try brilliant: - The ball placement from Freeman - The pass from the base from Fin Smith - Dingwallβs faint dummy inside to hold the defence - Hendyβs double-pump to set Lawes away Real quality. #InvestecChampionsCup https://t.co/49G9eThM9U
That is QUALITY from Northampton. Tommy Freeman has started wonderfully, poked his nose through the line a few times now. Really good from Hendy on that final pass as well. #InvestecChampionsCup
