Northampton shocked Premiership leaders Exeter as they climbed to fourth in the table with a battling bonus-point win in round 11 of the Premiership rugby.

This after they sealed a 31-28 victory over Exeter Chiefs this morning.

According to Planet rugby, this was their fifth Premiership win of the season and lifts them provisionally up to fourth, above Wasps and Harlequins who meet tomorrow.

For Exeter they can at least take pride in how they ended the game, crossing for a fourth try that also saw them take a losing bonus-point.

Meanwhile, in round 12 of the Pro 14, Connacht defeated Ulster 21-12.
