Northampton boss Chris Boyd played down Dan Biggar’s injury scare after his star fly-half limped out of the 27-21 Gallagher Premiership loss to Saracens.

The Wales international returned to domestic duties after featuring in the opening three rounds of the Six Nations but was forced off after 20 minutes at Franklin’s Gardens as fears around his participation in the rest of the tournament grew.

Boyd allayed those concerns in his assessment of the injury, but did urge patience as the extent of the damage is examined.

The Saints’ director of rugby explained: “I don’t think it is (a bad injury). He’s hyper-extended his leg in a collision and he seems to be moving relatively OK.

“I don’t think he’s got any major structural damage from what I’m led to believe, so it’s one of those ones where we’ll wait and see.”

Saints spurned 12-0 and 15-8 leads as already-relegated Saracens came from behind to deal the hosts a fourth-straight Premiership defeat.

Early scores from Fraser Dingwall and Harry Mallinder were cancelled out in a second-half blitz by Jack Singleton, Nick Tompkins and Ben Earl.

Boyd was left to curse ill-discipline as Lewis Bean and Taqele Naiyaravoro were sent to the sin-bin at inopportune moments.

“We were the masters of our own destiny,” he said. “We were 12-0 up, should have scored another try close to the posts, we went down to 13 men, conceded two tries.

“We had plenty of opportunities to win and to build some more points that would have given us a bigger margin. But when we needed to be clinically accurate, which we’ve talked about for the last little bit, some of those things deserted us. If you looked at the tries they got, they didn’t have to work too hard for them.

“It was just little things and when you’re having a string of difficult games, the little things can turn into big things. I’m not as angry as I have been. Life has to go on.”

Saracens, meanwhile, provided the perfect tonic to their stunning 60-10 defeat at Wasps last time out. Mark McCall was left beaming with pride as his charges dug deep and shook off injuries to the likes of Jackson Wray, Alex Goode and Duncan Taylor. Director of rugby McCall explained: “It was a great performance for lots of reasons.

“To be 12-0 down after the result last weekend and then we lost Wray, Goode and Taylor to injury – so there were lots of reasons for us to collapse. But the fact we didn’t is so pleasing and makes us so proud.

“We didn’t cope very well with setbacks against Wasps, so to be 12-0 down and respond and see them back themselves and fight for each other was really pleasing.”

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
