A huge thank you to Tom James for this match worn and squad signed Northampton Saints π shirt. Iβm auctioning it off for the Adam Stansfield foundation. Please reply with a bid or DM me. Auction ends Saturday 8pm. All RTβs appreciated.
Iβm ever so slightly bias but great article Stuart Barnes on Fraser Dingwall ππ»ππ»
Iβm going to say it, on paper this England Rugby squad are good enough to win this years 6 nations - if, and I mean if, these players can be allowed to play rugby with an attacking mindset. The type of rugby that got 98% of them in the squad in the first place.πͺπ»ππΌ
Yesterdays win against a tough Falcons side showed me that Northampton Saints π have the depth in their squad to compete for a Premiership title. Thereβs still a long way to go, but Saints fans shouldnβt under estimate the importance of yesterdays win for this group of playersπͺπ»ππ»
You wouldnβt bet against Courtney Lawes being selected for a third British & Irish Lions tour. If he did, would he be the first retired international to be selectedπ€
After 40 minutes I was thinking Northampton Saints π should turn up for Englands training and Borthwick and Co should stay at home ππ
So much English talent on display Northampton Saints π v Exeter Chiefs and throughout the Premiership Rugby The big question is if watching England coach Steve Borthwick can pick these players and let them play the exciting attacking rugby we see week in week out π€© Donβt fuck it up Steve ππΌ
1st time down at Northampton Saints π this season. Reminded me why I love watching Saints play. My heart will always be in my mouth with this side, but itβs this style of rugby that will get young boys & girls playing rugby. Yes there was kicking but only when it wasnβt on to run ππ»ππ»
Nice bumping into Adam Hastings in Mallorca airport. Very kind of him to take some time to speak with me and my wife. Made me feel extremely old when I said I was lucky enough to play with his dad and uncle. Hope the injury gets better - and good luck with the season Adamπͺπ»
