On a horrible night in the west country, with rain pouring down throughout, Saints were leading 12-10 going into the final stages thanks to four penalties from the boot of Stephen Myler.

Contact was minimal, but the intent was there, and once the incident had been reviewed by the TMO, referee Adam Jones red-carded the Saints man and awarded the home side a penalty.

Chron photograper Kirsty Edmonds braved the appalling conditions at the Recreation Ground to capture the action, and here is a selection of her pictures.
