The Saints

The Saints are the Northampton rugby team. Having gone through some rough patches, including most recently relegation during the 2007/2008 season (they completed the year in National Division 1 with an unprecedented 35 wins from 35 games), they have rapidly come back through the combined powers of Jim Mallinder, Dorian West and Paul Grayson, alongside a strong combination of youth and experience.

2 weeks rest

There's no match for the Saints this weekend.  It's a long time since they haven't had a match, and it's a good thing that the team have a bit of a rest.  They have looked tired.  That's the problem of playing so many different leagues - it's difficult enough remembering which one it is when you are supporting them.  With the Guiness, the LV and the Heineken Cup its been very full.  So a weekend off will probably go down well in order to get their strength up for the final game of the Guiness Premiership against London Irish, before going to the play-offs.  If we can beat London Irish then we get a home semi-final, against the Saracens.  If we lose and the Sarries beat Leicester then its an away semi-final but still against the Saracens.  Basically, whatever happens we have another match against the Sarries, which will make 5 in one season!
