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.

Two Extend Contract

Mooj and Brett have extended their contracts with the Saints, much to the joy of the supporters.

Brett has come on well this season, especially while Rabbit has been off playing for England.  His throw-ins still need work, but he has turned into a fast hooker, not afraid to run with the ball.

However Mooj has really become one of the beloved.  I sometimes wonder what travelling supporters think because it is easy to misunderstand what we shout.  Although we are all going "moo" for the Mooj, it can sound like boo.  Fortunately Mooj knows what it is, and he is one of those players who will always wave to the crowd as he leaves the pitch.  A small gesture, but massively appreciated.
