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.

Round Up - BAD

I realise I haven't done an update of the last matches.  To be honest my heart wasn't in it.  It wasn't just the fact we were losing, I'm not a fair weather fan, but the manner in which we were losing.  The spirit seems to have gone out of the team.  Can't help but wonder if that is a lack of Fodes, Flash and Dicko, the true clowns of the Saints.  Without them buoying up the lads then the heads seem to have gone down.  From a team that before Christmas didn't believe it could lose, we now seem to be watching a group who don't believe that they can win.  Even when they did get ahead yesterday they didn't grasp the opportunity. 

5 premiership losses in a row.  Bad days.
