MOON SHOT!

Northampton 38 Saracens 29

NORTHAMPTON boss Phil Dowson reckons there is more to come from Courtney Lawes after he gave Saints a shot at the play-offs.

This six-try win over a depleted Saracens team leaves the Midlanders in fourth but with only one game to play against Newcastle on Friday.

Lawes had not played since coming off the bench for England against Wales in February but by the time he was replaced after 50 minutes Saints were home and hosed.

The 34-year-old has had a nightmare season with concussion, calf, neck, back and glute issues limiting him to just four starts.

But it was like he had never been away as he put in a barnstorming performance from blindside flanker - and Dowson insists there is more in the tank.
