Is it just me who thinks Irish look a bit unfit?
Re: PREMIERSHIP ROUND 16
Or are Saints just playing in fast forward?

Biggar must be favourite for the fly half position on the Lions tour, best fly half in Britain now.

Re: PREMIERSHIP ROUND 16
Yep.. it pains me to say it but Saints look really good at the moment. Will be another tough test for us next weekend

Re: PREMIERSHIP ROUND 16
Great match this evening, can't see Saints doing over the top 3 should the make the play offs but they are certainly a good attacking team right now. I would hope we could dominate them in the forwards and stifle them with our defence when we play them.
The result means we would go top 6 with any kind of win over Bath

As long as Chiefs don’t win it I’m happy!

Northampton Saints 44 London Irish 26
Easy on the eye , but have to confess that I was expecting a little more from Irish who have been performing well of late. Perhaps a case of 'after the Lord Mayors Show' for them

Seemingly heading rapidly toward senility .....Not long or far to go now , in fact, getting worse daily.....
Re: PREMIERSHIP ROUND 16
So many good young English wingers and scrumhalves at the moment, can see why Eddie Jones rates Mitchell and has had him in camp. Good to see Teimana Harrison back to his best, with him, Lawes and Ratuniyarawa back in the Saints pack they should be able to get some forward grunt. Another Irish player I was impressed with in the first half was former England U20s lock Chunya Munga too, a good, physical nuts and bolts player.
