Northampton Saints returned to the Premiership after a season in Division One. They have made a number of good forward signings, lock Fernando Lobbe and three Ulster men, Paul Shields, Neil Best and Roger Wilson. Neil Best is a great signing for me. He's a real dog of a blindside. A hard working, no nonsense player. Destructive going forward and a beast in defense. On top form Best is a real animal, someone who you'd rather play with than against.
The first half was fairly scrappy though Carlos Spencer did his best to liven up the game with some crafty play. In the second half Northampton found more control and put together some good passages of play. The move of the game came from a clean line-out take from Best on the half way line. The ball was driven up the the backs and forwards for half a dozen phases to finally create an overlap for the centre Clarke to score on the right. An excellent team try. Worcester scored a consolation try late on to round off a fairly entertaining game.
My man of the match: Neil Best.
