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.

Ansbro

Congratulations to Joe for being picked in the Scotland squad for the up-coming internationals.  His place in the Saints is difficult. In many teams he could be in the starting line up but he is more often on our bench.  This partly reflects his versatility.  Having him on the bench means he can be called in for wing, centre or even full back.  But he is one of those players that you are happy to see come on.  Greatly loved by the Saints fans, he is a good and strong player.

It's difficult supporting a team.  You want your players to get recognition but at the same time don't want to lose them.  I really don't like the idea of not having Ansbro to fall back on but I am very pleased that he has got what he deserves.
