Fly half Stephen Myler says that despite breaking a sequence of semi-final defeats at Saracens, the Saints won't settle for reaching a first Aviva Premiership final a week on Saturday.

Premiership Rugby has confirmed that Saints will be the 'away' team for next Saturday's Final, and as such will be in their sky blue shirts.

Samu Manoa was the star of the show at the Northampton Saints End of Season Awards Dinner, picking up the two main gongs of the evening.

The Saints have booked themselves a place at Twickenham for the 2013 Aviva Premiership Rugby Final. They did by ending Saracens' unbeaten home record in some style, outscoring the hosts three tries to one, with Brian Mujati, Jamie Elliott and GJ Van Velze all crossing the whitewash. Stephen Myler kicked the remaining 12 points.

Dylan Hartley says that the only thing that will count at the end of Sunday's Aviva Premiership Rugby semi-final against Saracens will be the result on the scoreboard.

Tom Wood has been named as the England captain for June's tour to Argentina.

Travelling to the home of table topping Saracens is challenging enough, but the Saints also face the prospect of a first competitive fixture on artificial 4G turf in the club's history at Allianz Park for Sunday's Aviva Premiership semi-final.

Northampton Saints have announced that nine young players have signed their first full-time contracts to join the club's Senior Academy in the summer.

The Aviva Premiership Rugby regular season finished with a losing bonus point away at Harlequins, a result which confirmed the Saints' final league position of fourth and an away semi-final at Saracens.
