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.

Ooo La La

The Saints have travelled to France for the week.  A rare opportunity to play in the Vaquerin Challenge.  Two matches in one week, first Castres and then Toulouse.  A young Saints side were blown away by a tough Castres team but a slightly more experienced team were able to take on Toulouse in incredible heat (around 42 degrees) and win with 5 tries to 3.  On the score sheet were James Craig and Noah Cato, both new signings for this year.  That the Saints initially went down by two tries in the first 20 minutes shows not only a great physical fitness but also a great level of self belief.
