“A lot of flak came his way post the game at Welford Road,” Dowson said. “You can talk about loads of things that Henry does really well but I think his ability to learn from experience and apply that very quickly and effectively [is impressive].

​

“How he talks to referees has changed in probably about three weeks. How he deals with confrontations has changed a little bit as well. You see that penalty today where he gets tackled and [the referee] Luke [Pearce] says that’s taken the jackaller away. He doesn’t say anything, he walks away. I hope that gets noticed as well, how quickly he matures and makes those decisions."

Saints have also registered the fewest possessions per try in Europe too (7.8), above Toulouse (8.3), according to Opta.
