Dilly Dally for Ben Youngs :smt003 That's an underestimate, Just how much ball did he aimlessly kick away in their 22 again today? I look forward to JVP returning. I look forward to seeing JVP out there again as well. Benny looked to be going for those dinks a bit, I presume it was something spotte...

Yes a very good away win for Saints. I think Freeman is a good long term option for England at centre (13), possibly with Lawrence at 12 (although I would love to see Kelly back to top form and challenging).

I believe Farrell is a fantastic rugby player, and he has shown in recent seasons (when Sarries changed their style), that he can play expansively, he is definitely not just a kicking fly half. World class? Well that's debatable, like lots of things in sport. He is also, from what every coach says, ...

I would also go with a very strong team.

But would play Watson if fully fit and would give Shillcock a run at 15.

I might also rest Hanro and play Rogerson or Hatherell if back fit.

Would stick with Kelly & Scott in the centres with Kata on the bench.

It's worth bearing in mind if Gloucester's lad (young, so not having a go at him) had a better day off the kicking tee we might have been struggling and may have put us under more pressure. I don't feel we have confidence running through our veins right now. Hopefully that confidence will build, a ...

What's happened to La Rochelle this year?

Let's hope their form continues past Jan 14th!!

At the risk of stating the truth obvious, Montoya is back!!!!!!!

Yes!! Have a good retirement AWJ may your bones/joints not ache too much!!!!

Very disrespectful Sorry if you feel that way. But its just my opinion, you're more than entitled to disagree. At 47 I've seen enough to know that the kids are future. We need to get them watching in the stands regularly. If that means a few gimmicks and putting a few noses out of joint, then so be...

Enjoyed the whole day out yesterday, it was good to be back on the Crumbie Terrace!! Thought we deserved the win, just need to tidy up a few silly errors from good players and get some better cohesion in the back line in particular. It wasn't long ago that Porter was an England 13, so he's obviously...

Our biggest game of the season thus far, against our "nearest and dearest" and nobody has posted since Monday evening.......it's not like the old days when there could be 20 pages in advance of a Saints game. Mind you much of that was discussing who would win the inevitable fight :smt002 :...

So is there any intel this week on the fitness of Martin, Montoya, Dolly, Hatherall and JVP?

It would be good to have them all back ASAP!!

There are plenty of amusing rugby anecdotes in Wayne Barnes’s highly readable new autobiography Throwing the Book. Not least the time, early in his top-level refereeing career, when he had to sin-bin England’s World Cup-winning captain Martin Johnson for an illegal smash on London Irish’s Delon Arm...

if he's going he's going, no one will doubt his commitment whilst in the shirt however and that's what really counts this season It's a short career and he's no roots over here, so if he can earn a load more money playing in a top French team, who can blame him?! Providing he plays his heart out fo...

Promises to be a cracking match and only wish I could be there on the terrace! Watching Market Harborough v Towcestrians tomorrow, but will watch the recording later (providing we win obviously!!). Will be at Saints next week, really looking forward to that, hope we have Montoya/Martin back for tha...
