Kelvin Thomas with a transfer update, what's impressed him about new boss Chris Hogg, and how the World Cup will impact recruitment this summer tinyurl.com/5d6nsbvs
FULL-TIME! Saints 45-31 Leicester Tigers. In the end, there were no need for any late, late heroics. That was how good Saints were here. Stunning, stunning try to seal it. And it had to be George Furbank who got it. What a performance. Saints are off to the Gallagher PREM final.
Sure, we could have a routine 2-0 win and a competent refereeing performance, but where's the fun in that?
(Actually don't mind that third red card - it's incredibly cynical)
Meet Stuart Burt. The man from Northampton off to his second World Cup as an assistant referee.
He may well be sharing the pitch with Messi/Mbappe/Yamal but he's just as focused on who @ntfc will be bringing through the door this summer!

Some words from Chris Hogg on Zach Jeacock - sounds like he could start the season as number 1 (although lots can happen between now and then) #ntfcnorthamptonchron.co.uk/sport…
