It was great to see the respect between the players at the end. Fans from both teams applauded both teams for an excellent display of rugby. Fantastic respect.
Newbie question: The little grubber kick at the 1:03 mark Northampton used to score.... you see a lot of that in rugby league, but not a whole lot in rugby union. Any particular reason? Worked here.
WyoRado Hawk You do see it fairly often with some teams, but it depends on the context of the play and playing style of the team. I personally think its a great move since it turns defences and can be lethal from that close out to the tryline, but I guess one difference between union and league is that if the kick doesn't come off there's no guarantee of getting possession back shortly afterwards, so it's more of a risky play
WyoRado Hawk I know this is a very late reply and you might already know but Stephen Myler used to play Rugby league For Widnes Vikings and Salford city reds before converting to Rugby union. Obviously worked on the day, it's a great move but risky.
I love rugby, and credit to the saints but it's just stupid to have a league structure where the team who finished 2 is the overall champs. not a good advert to rugby IMO.
