As Northampton Saints and Bristol Bears produce an incredible spectacle at Franklin's Gardens, we take a look at the highest scoring rugby union matches of all time.
The Gallagher Prem leaders showed their class as they bounced back from a disappointing East Midlands derby defeat to Leicester Tigers with a sensational display that put all kinds of records in jeopardy.
Saints were particularly impressive in a first 40 minutes that saw them break the record for points scored in a Premiership half with 61.
A late converted try from George Hendy, his fourth of the match, made it finish 94-33 to the Saints and ensured it was the highest aggregate score in Premiership Rugby history, as well as the most points Northampton have scored in a Premiership match.
