Johnson injury casts shadow over win

Martin Johnson's fractured left hand may have cast a shadow over Leicester's 21-11 defeat of Northampton, but team-mate Rod Kafer finally emerged from one on Saturday.

The inside centre, who has endured a mixed start with the Tigers, scored his first try for Leicester and said: 'There is a process of time for settling in and things have just started to come together. But there are still improvements that can be made.'
