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.
The only team to win six out of six matches in the pool stages of the Heineken. Luckily today Toulouse fell to Wasps, which puts us at the top of the table and thus avoids a match with the Tigers at the moment.
