Cipriani boots Wasps to win

Danny Cipriani kicked the three penalties which enabled Wasps to pull off a 9-5 Guinness Premiership victory against Northampton.

But Cipriani was eclipsed by Northampton's exciting young England hopeful Ben Foden, who scored the only try of the match.

Foden took a pass from fly-half Stephen Myler to burst over in the left corner in the 55th minute.

But Myler had an off day with the boot, missing the conversion and three penalty attempts, and it cost Saints the chance of their first away Premiership victory of the season in a match they dominated for long periods.
