Saints travel to Newcastle tonight🏉
Northampton Saints star Alex Waller has issued a rallying cry ahead of their crunch clash. The loosehead prop scored the winning try when the club defeated Saracens back in 2014 to lift their first Premiership title.
"We’ve had that for two or three years now. The time for potential needs to stop now. We need to start acting on it. We’re seeing it in parts, our issue is being consistent throughout games, and I include myself in all of this. Putting our game on pitch consistently for 80 minutes. At times we can be absolutely electric and teams can’t live with us. Then we switch off. And that’s when we get punished.
Northampton has reached three semi-finals since their 2014 title-winning season but have not gone on to win a second Premiership title. “If you told me that would be the case when we won at Twickenham I’d have been disappointed but the journey for me is one I wouldn’t change,” added Waller, who has racked up 350 games and last week signed a new contract.
Tom Collins comes in to start on the wing for Northampton for the 12th time this season, replacing the injured James Ramm in the back three. George Furbank continues at fullback with Tommy Freeman – who has scored in four of his past five Premiership appearances – selected on the other wing.
