  PENALTY, CASTRES, KOCKOTT! 18-12 Saints knock-on from the restart and Castres win a penalty at the scrum. Kockott with a chance to snatch that losing bonus point and he does so, bringing a frustrating game to a close. Too many errors from both sides in terms of handling and kicking means this one won't linger long in the memory. Northampton with the win.
