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.

Draw for 2011

An interesting draw.  The Saints have got Cardiff Blues, Edinburgh and Castres.  And this is the moment I realise I am a true Saint.  Two years ago I went to the Blues vs Saints match at the Ricoh. And at that point I was yelling for the Blues.  I grew up a Cardiff boy.  I've always supported and shouted for the Blues.  I saw this draw and suddenly relised that next season, for these matches I will be shouting "Come On You Saints".  I almost feel a traitor.  How do you tell your parents? 

But I go to Saints matches week in and week out.  We know the team.  We know their strengths and their foibles.  We are part of it all. 

Proud to be a Saint.
