Bristol's Ian Evans infringes as Leicester get close to the Bristol try-line and he gets 10 minutes to think about what he's done wrong.....

Have I given Vereniki Goneva the kiss of death? He lets a kick go into the Falcons try area with Ben Foden chasing him down and the former England man gets hand on the ball. But Foden is adjudged to have knocked the ball on and Falcons stay in front.

Freddie Burns puts the Tigers in front for the first time.

Both team are struggling to keep hold of the ball at Franklin's gardens with a number of handling errors in the past few minutes. But this game has the potential to break open at any time.

Vereniki Goneva's been the difference between these sides so far. The big Fijian, who joined Newcastle in the summer, has set up the game's only try and was instrumental in the score that was chalked off.

If Saints are to get back into this they have to try and stop his barmstorming runs from midfield.

Newcastle have dominated the opening minutes of this game, registering 77% possession and camping out in the Northampton half. 

With the Saints having 13 players away on international duty this is a great opportunity for Dean Richards' side to get just a second away win of the season in the Premiership.

Bristol's interim head coach Mark Tainton tells BBC Radio Bristol: "We've been working mainly on when we're inside the opposition's 22.

"We need to up the tempo a little bit and be more accurate in there."
