After the game, Saints boss Jim Mallinder said: “Luther took a blow to the head.

“He was up and chatting in the changing room.”

Teimana Harrison was also forced off during the second half in the 27-12 loss.

And Mallinder said: “Teimana hurt his shoulder. I think it’s an AC joint so hopefully it’s not too bad.”

Dylan Hartley had missed the game due to a back problem.

And Mallinder said: “Dylan came off with a sore back last week and we’re hoping he’ll be returning next weekend.”
