Dylan Hartley: 'What a waste of money'Northampton returned to European adventures in rampant fashion, tearing Toulon limb from limb, by seizing the pool initiative with a thumping 56-3 victory on the Cote d'Azur.
The Saints might not have won an away game in the Guinness Premiership but the floodgates well and truly opened with entry gratuits as Northampton ran in seven tries.
And it was two of their young guns who caught the eye - Joe Ansbro and Ben Foden - the pair combining for the second try with Ansbro latching onto Foden's scything midfield break.
Ansbro added a second late on while Chris Ashton, Sean Lamont and Foden were also among the other scorers while Steven Myler booted 21 points.
