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.

Tigers 11 - Saints 3

A match where least said soonest mended really. Both teams played well, it was tough and gruelling as expected. But poorly let down by officiating, both ref and linesman bowed to the pressure of the crowd. And before you think this is just sour grapes, none of the papers are covering the match itself, simply talking about officials making things up.

Ah well, on to Cardiff and the Heineken final. Last chance for this season.
