Fair to say, Bayonne have not made it across the Channel.

From 10-0 up Newcastle are now 13-22 behind against Benetton
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Saints have been fantastic. Their attack coach must have come from a very good club…pains me he’s at their place rather than WR!
Re: Other matches - 12-14th January 2024
Just shows what you can do when you dont kick the ball away all the time, Saints have now learnt to pass the ball and not get white line fever. I dont think Sam could coach our side currently to play like Saints backs do, our backs just dont seem to have the the pace to run like that, or the handling skills. I think it was Paddy Howard who taught Sam to play in that way but Tigers failed to employ Sam and he was lost to us, not sure he would come back.Tigers86asw wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2024 9:06 pm Saints have been fantastic.

Tigers demolition of Exeter last year shows what we can do when injuries don't hamper our progress, most of those players will get to that position again when we assimilate the new players into the side.

Pretty depressing scenes at Kingston Park as (an admittedly very tidy) Benetton team put 50 on.

I thought watching Saints beat up a minnow was pretty depressing...and I got bored after about 20 mins, but despite the depleted opposition it was great for Saints fans...I assume. At long last Saints seem to have a defence...

Northampton have been playing attractive rugby for a few seasons now big point of difference for them this is defence and extra physicality. You would thing that Mitchell, Smith, Freeman and Furbank will all be in the England squad.
Seen highlights of the Newcastle game, they were torn apart through the centres and out wide. Tbf Benetton have been playing decent rugby in the URC but to ship 50 points at home is worrying
