Re: Saints away 7th December

If the rumours be true they are trying to entice Steve Borthwick from the England set up which if they manage to achieve could get them back on track towards the end of the season / next season if they weren’t relegated to the Championship at the end of this season.

Re: Saints away 7th December

Safe travels to those travelling next week. Indeed tigers were pretty awful today and we can only play what’s in front of us but hopefully we have some of our 1st XV injured players back by the next two weeks including Lawes, Franks O, Biggar, Ribbans, Francis, Mallinder, Taylor, Franks B and Fish. ...

Re: Leinster v Northampton - Aviva 19:45 Saturday 17th

Firstly an apology. Apology to all those fans who travelled over from Ireland to watch a one sided game where the home team forgot to turn up and the away team played brilliantly. Anyway now that that's over onto this weekend when Mrs I and I will be travelling across still with hopes that the same ...

Re: Northampton Saints v Leinster BT Friday 7.45

Lots of saints supporters would probably say that Haywood has earned his place to start as hooker in place of Dylan since his performances have been pretty steady through a pretty rubbish season to date. Biggest loss for us will be Day and young Mallinder who are both injured and unavailable. Hanrah...

Re: Northampton Saints v Leinster BT Friday 7.45

Sorry guys as much as I disagree with the cost at saints I've just had to pay €85 each for me and mrs I which at current exchange rates leaves little change out of £75 a ticket but I enjoyed the last trip to Dublin so hopefully worth the effort

Re: Northampton Saints v Leinster BT Friday 7.45

I've watched the Saints a few times this season and to be honest, they look a poor side. Good set piece, defence and a good kicker in Meyler but they struggle in attack and have only scored 14 tries in 10 league games. For Leinster to win the main thing would be not to concede cheap penalties. That...

Re: Northampton Saints v Leinster BT Friday 7.45

Saints fan looking forward to the next two weeks in lots of ways and maybe not so many in others. Been no secret that saints have stalled this season for various reasons but I'm hoping we actually turn up on Friday night and pull something out of the bag to change around what has been a pretty disma...

Re: Northampton v Leinster 23rd August

Saints have two games on Saturday at FG against Leinster and Moseley so I imagine that we will have to be fielding quite a number of players to cover both games one after the other. Last Saturday saints played Rotherham and apart from a few first team players the majority was made up of the wanderer...

Re: HEC: Leinster V Northampton 14/12/13 KO 6PM

Great night and great people. Absolutely delighted that we managed to turn around from last weekend and seriously thought Leinster were just about to nick it in the dying moments but some great defence paid off. Absolutely enjoyed the whole evening though and first visit it the aviva stadium was gre...

Re: HEC: Leinster V Northampton 14/12/13 KO 6PM

Ok arrived in the fair city and getting into the mood. Really think Jim has made a mistake with pisi at 15 again especially with Dickson on the bench and played at 15 for 3 games already BUT pisi is a Samoan international sigmas played in the it crowd games so I don't think he will be phased by the ...

Re: Saints you should be proud of

Glad you guys enjoyed the weekend and although we were definitely hurting after being shown what was world class rugby it was great to see such good support at the gardens both in fine voice and cheery attitude. Hopefully this weekend we can return the favour and turn up to give you a game otherwise...
