There was a time when Saints' away record was shit but the home record made up for it. Last year was a marked improvement in away showings though, so hopefully that can continue.

I think Saints looked the most impressive of all the teams on the opening day, and I think once they duff up Quins people will seriously consider them as title challengers.

Hope someone gives Hartley a punch up the bracket though.

Hartley is a pure muscle kiwi. He doesn't feel pain.

I think Fa'asavalu could make him feel pain.

Mind you we've got Joe Marler in our squad so I suppose it's one each in the 'deserves a slap' category.

Hey, I'm a Sarries fan, I dare you to find someone in our squad (apart form Farrell) who doesn't deserve a slap

Surely Farrell deserves one just for his hair in recent years.

Not sure there'd be much point slapping Borthwick. He looks like he's been repeatedly slapped from the day he was born.

It's looking a bit wet outside...think the Quins v Saints game could be a bit of a mud-fest unfortunately.

True, don't think it would make a blind bit of difference to Borthwick!

Think you're right about the game tonight, can see the ball turning into a bar of soap.

I'm another Northampton follower. Seems to be largely Northampton and Sarries which I suppose makes sense geographically. Looking forward to plenty more from George North this season.

Think we let you off the hook on Friday night. Despite the conditions, which should have favoured Saints, our scrum held up and but for some shit kicking from both of our fly-halves we should have been ahead when we gifted you a try.

Still...reckon Saints are guaranteed top 3 this season and we'll struggle for top 4.

Conditions made it a bit of a lottery but it was very unlike Nick Evans I must admit.

Not so much anymore unfortunately.

The Rugby thread reminded me of this one... can't believe it took me this long to come back and say CHAMPIONES, CHAMPIONES OLE OLE OLE!
