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 losses in a row. Tonight is therefore a really big match. With injuries to dicko, flash, long arm and TinTin it will also be a test of depth. 35 minutes until kick off. Tension mounting.
