What do you get when you cross a hot-stepping fly-half with the most porous defence in the league? Northampton Saints fans won’t want to read the punchline after Gloucester’s Santiago Carreras tore their team to shreds at first receiver. 

The Argentinian is a recent convert from the outside backs but he’ll be inked in at 10 moving forward after this performance. One try, a hand in two more and 19 points from the tee saw Gloucester leapfrog Northampton from seventh to fourth on the table with a 34-19 win.
