The Saints quickly asserted their dominance, with Alex Coles scoring in the fifth minute, followed by Trevor Davison's brace against his former club. Alex Mitchell secured the bonus point within the first quarter, exploiting a defensive gap to score his first try of the season.
Despite being reduced to 14 men after Fin Smith’s yellow card, Northampton continued to extend their lead. Josh Kemeny, returning from injury, marked his comeback with a try, and Tommy Freeman added another after a break. The Saints' defense was equally impressive, with George Hendy's heroic dive preventing Newcastle's best scoring opportunity in the first half.
In the second half, Northampton introduced fresh players, including Luke Green, Archie McParland, and Iakopo Mapu, which paid off immediately. Tom Pearson scored twice in quick succession, and Rory Hutchinson added a late try and conversion to seal the win.
The match statistics underscored Northampton's dominance, with the team making 543 meters from 139 carries and achieving 10 line breaks. Defensively, they made 160 tackles with an 85% success rate.
This performance was a timely reminder of Northampton's class and their ability to deliver complete performances, despite a tough start to the season. The win pushes the defending champions up to seventh in the table, leaving them optimistic for the upcoming season.
