There's a good showing by the Saints team in the teams announced today. In the England squad we find Fodes, Flash, Tin Tin, Rabbit and Long Arm - these lads will be touring Australia and New Zealand. This is seen very much as a warm up for the Rugby World Cup. In the Saxons squad we find Smyler, Jon Clarke and Dowse. In addition Tom Wood, who is joining us for next season is also there.
Some questions had been raised when Jim Mallinder signed another fly half, but if we can be expecting both Tin Tin and Smyler to be tied up with country commitments then this might well be a very astute choice.

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.
