'Furbs is an absolute legend of this club'

It was an emotional farewell to George Furbank, with hugs all round at Franklin's Gardens on Friday night.

The Northampton Saints full-back played his last home match for the club, scoring two tries in their semi-final victory over arch-rivals Leicester Tigers.

Furbank, who will join Harlequins next season, scored twice in the second half to ensure he has a shot at finishing his Northampton career with a second title.

Now Saints prepare for a Twickenham final next Saturday.
