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.

The End of an Era

Rumour has it that Ignacio Fernandez Lobbe is hanging up his his boots at the end of this season. This is very sad. Not just a club player, over his time he has been capped by the Pumas 66 times, and has played in three World Cups.

He joined the Saints in 2008 and has proved himself a force of strength in the scrum. He can certainly play rugby and has captained the team a number of times this year, including last nights game against Bath.

However he is now 35 and it is time for him to retire. He is going to be missed very much.
