Saints announce a new signing - https://www.facebook.com/OfficialNorthamptonSaints/videos/1790662957653041/

For anyone who doesn't want to click it Taqele Naiyaravoro joins in the summer, he's a winger and is fucking huge.

Gloucester won again against a very strong Leicester side. Worcester away this weekend.

I'm beginning to think that we might not get promoted this year

I can't be arsed to research who it was for but my mucka Adam Balding was playing for a team in the Forest last year. Was that Drybrook? I remember red, orange and black stripes.

That would be Zindyferrrd.

I think that he was coaching them (might still be)

Watched the last 20 minutes of Barrow v Toronto in the Rugby League Championship. Could hardly see the players for mud; quite enjoyable and bonkers that Toronto are in that League.

It was on Freesports.

Aren't there extreme sanctions for contaminating this thread with talk of the Northern Game ?

Here you go our kid, wouldn't want you getting in trouble with the public school towel-flicking fart-lighters...

Probably the South West Premier upset of the season today at Regentsholme.

I went expecting a fifty point hiding but The Mighty Lyd went and beat second placed Bournemouth

All too little too late to stave of relegation but we’re going down with some fight

Played Worcester - nice to see not resting on beating Exeter last week.

Will be the Great Escape if Irish get out of it now but until mathematics say it’s over..... :-)

Must have been player coach. I haven't caught up with him for a bit but last I heard he had a job at Gloucester.

I missed posting this at the time but last week Saints added Sam Vesty as the attack coach for next year.  I think that's a great signing, he's done a really good job at Worcester.

[dcdavecollett]

Maybe England could do with him!

[paul_e]

I hope England go for Greenwood

[dcdavecollett]

Has Greenwood done any coaching?

Yep, he's been the Barbarians Attack coach for a while.  He's got all his badges as well (he had to get them for the school of hard knocks) but he'd want a role that's part time because of all the other stuff he does, which would fit well as a national coach.  He has a great reputation and has had 2-3 clubs try to convince to take up full time coaching. in the last few years, I know Exeter were very interested.

Ta!
