• Saints pay price for fielding a back division of youngsters
At the best of times, it pays not to go to Saracens the week after they have been beaten. Northampton need to be particularly careful, there being something about the look of them of late to inspire Sarries, who put 50 past the Saints no fewer than four times last season. For them to rock up with a back division of precocious youngsters was asking for trouble, however brilliant their form.
Northampton duly copped yet another hiding from their nemeses. Not quite as bad as it looked as if it was going to be after half an hour, but enough to be getting on with.
