Despite an impressive performance, Gloucester fell short against league leaders Northampton Saints, who snatched victory with a late try from departing captain George Furbank in the 79th minute. The high-scoring game finished 36-32 in favor of Northampton, who relied on tries from George Hendy, Rory Hutchinson, Tommy Freeman, Sam Graham, Furbank, and Fin Smith, with Smith adding three conversions.
