Northampton Saints 24 London Wasps 6: match report That incident aside, there was plenty for England's coaching team of Stuart Lancaster, Graham Rowntree and Andy Farrell to enthuse about. Courtney Lawes rampaged around in only his second start since he suffered an elbow injury in a bizarre pre-season wrestling session. "Courtney was absolutely outstanding; some of his defensive hits were staggering," Mallinder said. Wasps wing Christian Wade also caught the eye, twice opening up Northampton's defence. Having spent most of last season in a grim battle against relegation, Wasps appear to have regained some confidence although their injury jinx struck again when wing James Bailey, a summer recruit from Lyon, suffered a suspected broken leg just 17 minutes into his club debut. "It's not looking good at the minute but it looks like a suspected broken leg," said Wasps director of rugby Dai Young. It was his first touch as well. Wasps managed to regroup after they had conceded eight points in the opening 12 minutes which included Wilson's opening try. Northampton spent the first five minutes in grim defence but they were quick to capitalise when Wasps gave away possession. Wing Ken Pisi launched the attack and Wilson finished the move. Fly-half Stephen Myler added three first half penalties but he was also off target with three more kicks in an unusually inconsistent performance. Payne was booed by Northampton supporters when he rejoined the action but Pearson had an easy ride from the Saints faithful in his penultimate match before he hangs up his whistle to start a new job as the elite referee coach for the Six Nations. Northampton did not score while Payne was off the pitch but their pressure was eventually rewarded when centre Luther Burrell offloaded to Wilson who used his strength to roll out of a tackle and dot down. Northampton squandered chances to take the bonus point but a fourth penalty from Myler helped them maintain their perfect start.
