Saints Season Predictions for 2011/12
Northampton will have a tough start to the season as they will be without many of their stars who feature at the Rugby World Cup. Last season they lacked strength in depth and this most certainly led to them finishing the season with out any silver-wear. We feel that although they have strengthened the squad a similar fate will befall them this time out and will not be competing as they would hope when the big names are injured or rested. They will therefore be in the mix in the Premiership though from a slow start and also will feature into the finals stage of the Heineken Cup even coming from a tough Pool ‘1’ where they face Castres Olympique, Munster and Scarlets. Our predictions:
Premiership: Losing Semi-Finalists
Heineken Cup: Losing Semi-Finalists
