Last league game of the season.  Still play-offs, but this is it, where can we end up in the table.  After the disappointment of the last two matches, losing both by 1 point, can we make a come-back today.

There had been rumours, mostly coming out of The Exiles changing rooms, that the irish were going to play blood some young players today.  Lokking at the team that has not happened.  Instead they have named a top squad.  And we have a good team out as well so it is going to be a good game.  When the Irish played us at Franklins Gardens earlier in the season we just pipped them in the last minute of the game with a late try.  Delon Armitage got very wound up and used some very bad language towards the ref.  I think he was lucky not to get cited after the match.  So they will have fire in the belly, plus they still have an outside chance of coming within the top four (if Bath lose to Leeds which seems unlikely), and finally it is Mike Catts last match - all these things add up to a big incentive.  But our boys will still be smarting from hearing the Sarries players singing and cheering in the Franklins Gardens changing rooms, they've had an extra break just to get themselves back under control.
Here we go, Come On You Saints!
