Jim Mallinder's young lad scored a late try to give Northampton a dramatic win over Warriors

The 19-year-old will remember his debut.

FIVE PENALTIES WAS almost enough for Glasgow Warriors to sustain their interest in the Champions Cup knockout stages, but not quite.

The Pro12 champions led Northampton 12 – 15 in the closing minutes at Franklin’s Gardens, but were undone by the freshest face in the Saints’ line-up, head coach Jim Mallinder’s 19-year-old son Harry.

The debutant got on the end of a 78th minute bat down from George North off Stephen Myler’s cross-field kick.

The result means Glasgow’s quarter-final hopes are as good as over as they are five points behind Saints who now have a firm grip on second place in Pool 3.
