Northampton Saints 21 Leicester Tigers 20 – May 2014
Northampton fans will relish the memories of this game for years to come after they edged a hugely dramatic semi-final at Franklin’s Gardens on their way to winning the Aviva Premiership Rugby Final in 2014.
Saints Skipper Phil Dowson had an early try ruled out before Matthew Tait’s searing break gave Manu Tuilagi the opportunity to dot down.

Leicester stalwart Ben Youngs finished off a Logovi’i Mulipola burst, and Myler responded with a penalty before a red card for Salesi Ma’afu’ looked to have quelled the fightback.
But Wales wing George North got the hosts back in it after he picked up from a catch and drive – Owen Williams’ late penalty looked to have sealed things for Leicester but a sweeping Saints move found Tom Wood in the corner – and he bulldozed over to send his team to Twickenham.
