Premiership: Gloucester 34-19 Northampton Saints - Cherry and Whites ease to bonus-point win
Gloucester ended a run of three league defeats with a 34-19 bonus-point win over Northampton at Kingsholm.
Saints have now lost five Premiership matches away from home this season and won just one of their past seven trips to Kingsholm. Freeman edged Saints in front with two tries in five minutes, as they twice took advantage of gaps in the Gloucester defence on the wing. Northampton continued to waste chances to score after the break. Gloucester number eight Ben Morgan produced a try-saving tackle a few metres from his own line and Freeman was unable to collect a kick-through that would have seen him over.
Carreras took his tally for the evening to 19 points with his second penalty to cap a night when Gloucester bounced back."I thought the boys were outstanding tonight. Our last Premiership game here against Newcastle we were obviously very disappointed with what we put out on the field, I think that's probably the first time we've done that in a couple of years.
