First Words
Good afternoon everyone – what a week!

I have had a lot of unexpected things happen in my life, none bigger than what came about for myself and Paul last week.

Being two people who know this Club particularly well, we feel extremely privileged to be asked to take on the coaching roles.

We welcome Toulouse, the Kings of Europe, to Northampton this afternoon.

Today I want Toulouse to feel the power of Northampton Saints, not just the team, but Northampton Saints in its entirety.

It’s been a long time since I heard “Oh, When the Saints Come Marching In” sung in full voice, and a long time since the stadium was full before the warm-ups.      We realise we have been falling short of your expectations, but more than anytime for a number of years…. WE NEED YOU!

I would like the level of noise and support so loud the players struggle to hear themselves think, not just today, but every game for the rest of the season. In return, I know the players will give every ounce of themselves back to Northampton.
