From 21 points down, Northampton clawed their way back to defeat Nottingham Rugby 31-29 at cinch Stadium, Franklin's Gardens.
The first half belonged to Nottingham, who stormed ahead with a bonus-point try haul. Jack Dickinson opened the scoring, followed by tries from Aniseko Sio, Sebastian Ferreira, and a second from Dickinson. Saints could only respond through a captain's score from Angus Scott-Young, leaving them trailing at the break.
But the second half was all Northampton. Toby Cousins, Archie McParland, and Fyn Brown all crossed the whitewash, narrowing the gap before England Under-20s hooker Craig Wright put the icing on the cake with an electrifying solo effort to seal the win. Saints left the pitch with a perfect set of points.
Reuben Logan: A Rising Star with Big Shoes to Fill
Reuben's impressive performance didn't go unnoticed. The 19-year-old, son of former Scotland international Kenny Logan and ex-international gymnast Gabby Logan, made his mark on the pitch after a solid rise through the ranks.
Having previously represented England at U18 and U20 levels, Reuben is eligible to play for England, Scotland, or Wales, thanks to his family's mixed heritage, but has consistently donned the England jersey at youth level.
Reuben's twin sister, Lois, is also carving her own path, making waves as an up-and-coming showjumper. Reuben's father, Kenny, expressed his excitement ahead of his son's debut, telling Planet Rugby, “I just want Reuben to enjoy his journey. He's got a great opportunity at a fantastic club, and rugby is a wonderful sport to be part of.
“It’s a different world to when I played, but I always say to Reuben, ‘just go and express yourself,'” said Kenny.
With his feet firmly planted in a world-class rugby environment, Reuben is set to continue his impressive rise through the ranks.
