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.

Saints vs Tiggers

Count down.  Only a few hours to go and the first "real" match of the season.  Getting the bikes ready so we can cycle there (strangely hardly use the bikes during the summer, they are mainly for cycling to Saints matches). 

Nerves are kicking in.  I can feel the butterflies.  It's already been an interesting weekend - Exeter beating Gloucester, London Irish beating Sarries.  And now we have the big one, one of the biggest local derbies going.  Time to see how the new players gel into the team.  Time to see if Draco is going to be playing at centre this season.  Will Flash beat his try record?  Can we get bonus points in our matches?

Here we go, Come On You Saints!
