Northampton v Perpignan

Ashton good but slightly overrated he a great poacher though. Foden the real man to make that team click with the mazy runs.
 
Foden is certainly stamping his authority on this match, quality running. Plenty of time left for the bonus as well.
 
We're used to front rows running down the line....but Cross Field Kicks? Hartley you daft eejit.
 
Damn you Northampton. Scoring the bonus point try at the death means they're likely to get the second runners up spot in front of either the Blues, Scarlets, Sale or Ulster.
 
they've only scored 2 more tries than Sale, so if they can get the bp at home to Toulouse coupled with Munster keeping Saints tryless then they'll go through, hard to see the Blues, Ulster or Scarlets scoring enough tries to be part of the equation.
 
Turns out Saints do do BPs. Very close to cocking that one up. Foden & Ashton very entertaining.
 
enjoyed the match last night i must say. People say ashton is over rated but for a player to consistently get himself in these positions makes him a good player.

He's very good at chasing clearance kicks,
Most games if there's pressure in the defending sides 22, and they make a clearance kick, the opposition FB normally has a few seconds to sort himself out, but yesterday Ashton was there almost as quick as the attackers

He'll be well tested on Friday and then we'll see his worth and true meaning!!!
 
Yeah, luckily we have Howlett to chase the kicks (Easily the best kick chaser in the world), would hate for us to give Foden the space USAP did.

In fairness to Hurley he's chasing down everything very well too.
 
With the hieght Warwick is putting on his garyowens even the Bull is getting close to chasing them...
 
Marcus is back so will be on bemch Bruno will probably loose out although he doesn't deserve to loose spot with Buckley staying. Horan on bench and will be given 15/20mins.
