Northampton are chasing progression by finishing as one of the three best runners-up but they must prevail at Lyon to achieve this.

Director of rugby Chris Boyd has restored Tom Wood, Alex Waller and Dan Biggar to his starting XV among ten changes as he reverts to the best possible side that will help Saints’ hope of advancing.

However, Boyd knows events in other games will also shape the quarter-final line-up. “We can’t control what will happen elsewhere but at the end of the day we have got to do one better than Gloucester do at Toulouse,” he said.

“It might be that a bonus point will get us there, it might be that four points does it or even five points might not get us there.

“What we can control is our outcome and performance, and we go there with the best team for what we think is the right way to play against Lyon at home.”

What World Rugby say about Dan Sheehan's controversial Lions try

See the last paragraph of World Rugby clarification 3-2022

World Rugby Passport - Clarification 3-2022 which reads

“In principle, in a try scoring situation, if the action is deemed to be a dive forward for a try, then it should be permitted. If a player is deemed to have left the ground to avoid a tackle; or to jump, or hurdle a potential tackler, then this is dangerous play and should be sanctioned accordingly”.


As I said, 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. World Rugby needs to clarify their clarification! So did Sheehan leave the ground to avoid a tackle? If so, then Sheehan should have been penalised.
