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.
Four Saints players starting for England. Thus leaves me somewhat split. I support Wales but I want the Saints players to do well. This means that the pain of final score is numbed by the pleasure of seeing Flash score two tries.
