Hi @OptaJonny apparently Blair Murray carried for 189 metres against Benetton - where does this rank historically?
5 - Ollie Sleightholme is one of five players to score a @premrugby hat-trick this season, with two of the other four also being @SaintsRugby players (Tommy Freeman & James Pater).
His tally of 11 defenders beaten against Bath was also his highest in the competition.
Treble.

Inevitable.
