Northampton produced a mighty finale to topple arch-rivals Leicester in a thundering Premiership semi-final on Friday night. A try two minutes from time by England flanker Tom Wood gave Northampton a Twickenham final later this month after Leicester had led 17-6 at half-time. Northampton did it the hard way after they had prop Salesi Ma’afu sent off for flooring  England hooker Tom Youngs 17 minutes into the second half. Wood, who crashed over wide out on the left, sent Northampton’s fans delirious as their team ended a four-year period without a win over champions Leicester.
