Northampton allowed Leinster to establish a 20-3 lead and eventually fell just short, losing 20-17, in their Champions Cup semi-final last month.
Northampton have been reflecting on the harsh lessons of their defeat at Croke Park to steel their bid to claim the Gallagher Premiership title on Saturday.
It has become a ‘what might have been’ moment for the club, had they shown greater conviction from the start, but Tommy Freeman insists the experience will be invaluable when they face Bath at a sold-out Twickenham.“It got brought up on Monday,” the England wing said. “It was on a big stage and we knew how it felt, so it’s been about connecting those emotions and not wanting to feel that again.
“That gives us confidence going into Saturday – we know that when we get our game right, we are hard to stop.
