Eight Saints in England squads

Travis PerkinsSponsored by Travis Perkins

Lee Dickson, Phil Dowson, Ben Foden and Dylan Hartley all retain their places in the 2012/13 squad after adding to their tally of caps in the recent tour of South Africa.

Courtney Lawes and Tom Wood have also been selected in the Senior EPS despite not travelling this summer.


Meanwhile Calum Clark and Paul Doran Jones have been named in this season's Saxons squad.


Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder believes the octet are all more than worthy of their spots


"It is certainly a reflection of how each of the lads played last season and we're really pleased," Mallinder said. "To have eight players involved in the senior squads is fantastic for the club and we've always maintained that if you are an Englishman, playing well for Northampton, you have a chance of being selected.


"That is something we've seen with a lot of the lads who have come in over the past few seasons and today's announcement indicates that it will continue to be the case."
