Saints once again came from behind to head in to the new season with a 100% pre season record, and Ethan Waller believes that the younger players within the squad showed excellent character against the Warriors.
Trailing 7-27 heading into the final quarter at Franklin’s Gardens, four tries in 17 minutes saw the hosts roar from behind to win, a scoring sequence started and finished by Waller himself.
“We had a really tight game against Wasps last week, a run out against Sarries, and now coming back again in a game like this was a big test of character, especially for the young lads coming off the bench,” the two-try prop told SaintsTV.
“It’s a pre-season game but the intensity was still there. We never go into a game to lose so to be able to snatch it back after a bit of a deficit is brilliant.
“Our fitness told towards the end there, and we were able to keep that good pace going until the end. We showed what we’re about today.”
