MATCH SUMMARY Northampton 25 (18) Tries: Reihana 2, Cohen Cons: Reihana 2 Pens: Reihana 2 London Irish 23 (20) Tries: Flutey, Feaunati Cons: Flutey 2 Pens: Flutey 3

The Saints looked to be heading for defeat when Irish claimed a 20-10 lead after 27 minutes with the help of 15 points from fly-half Riki Flutey.

Reihana, who scored a fourth-minute try, added another as well as a second penalty to make the score 18-20.

Flutey added another penalty after the break but Cohen's try and Reihana's conversion sealed the victory.

Reihana ended the game with a total of 20 points to guide his side to only their second win of the season.

He started the scoring in the fourth minute when he converted his own try before long-range tries from Flutey and Dominic Feau'nati turned the game around.

Reihana's scoring kept his side in the game but although they started the second half with plenty of possession, Saints could not find a way through.

And Flutey's third penalty, with 21 minutes to go, looked to have been enough for Irish.

But with time running out, the New Zealander was penalised for a late tackle to give Northampton one last chance.

Reihana took a quick tap penalty and the ball was spread to Cohen, who jinked his way through the defence for his third try in four games.

The try tied the scores at 23-23 and Reihana sparked scenes of wild celebration when he slotted over his touchline kick.
