Its such a nothing tackle too. So unlucky, all the best to him

The new laws appear to have been ultra-proscribed, while existing laws now seem to be optional 🤔

Bath 19 should be cited for dangerous play and taking a swing at Ramm even though he probably deserved it. Pearce too for blocking 😂😂

It’s a shame the highlights omitted the last try at the end that wasn’t given, amazing non-score

If bath didn’t have 14 players in the final, we were lucky

Not bad considering we’ve lost some key players

Rule No 1 playing against Leinster - don't let them into your 22!

That moment at 4:48 where he just stands over him in the amazon position, craaaaaaaaaaaaazy 😂

The crowd is so supportive. Thats why rugby is the best

So good😂😂

Thanks for uploading this! Bedford Blues fan over here!

Bland. Boring.

Will the game on September 20 be on here live? I’m from the United States and relatives over in the UK are fans of the saints and I wanna learn the joys of your sport & have some knowledge of the game so I can sit and enjoy the sport with my family next time I’m over there. Go saints!

Is it just me, or does Sam Prendergast look like he has put on a bit of muscle? I hope to god he has, the chap needs to get bigger if he wants to progress and mix it up with the big boys.

Big thanks from a Leinster fan for this stream notwithstanding the extremely biased commentary ! Sounded like normal supporters judgement on ref’s divisions so fair play and understandable ! Good luck and best wishes to The Saints in this season !

How many 13’s did saints have on the pitch?

Thanks a mill for putting this up lads and best of luck in the coming season!

Thanks Saints for putting this up.

Big shout out to Northampton RFC for putting such an excellent KZbin package together for all the fans, who couldn't make it to Franklin's Gardens. Best of luck to the Saints in the Prem! From a Leinster Ultra

Looking forward to seeing more of Sam P. Another great cameo.

Good preseason warm up, well done both sides.

Doing what he does best .late tackles

First act of the new CEO is to listen then reset the crest. No pressure because WE are Northampton Saints

I understand the reasons behind a change of crest and was genuinely looking forward to a new design but blimey this was a real disappointment. A nice idea with the link back to the first badge however a really poor execution.My first thought on seeing the new badge was genuinely ‘What does a daffodil have to do with the Northampton Saints’ ? I presume a simple yellow cross cannot be registered as a trademark so some sort of extra device was needed but placing ‘1880’ in the centre just makes it look like the stamen of a flower and reinforces the daffodil image. Any half decent designer would have realised this right from the off and positioned the numbering elsewhere. Also, the green and black background is unbalanced and visually jarring. Obviously the club had the final decision on which badge to go with but I’d be surprised if the design company are wholly satisfied or will be using this image as an example of their work in any future pitches for business. Petitions won’t change the clubs mind as there’s now far too much money invested in the re-branding and possibly the only thing that will do is if there’s piles of unsold merchandise in the club shop at the end of the season. Fortunately, I have enough shirts, caps and items of clothing to last a lifetime or two so won’t ever need to be buying anything with the new badge on.

Where did all these good players go?

You would have thought with all the furore of other clubs doing this and the backlash they would have asked the fans. No. Awful, as it is supposed to be. Like modern architects, they hate you!!

Please see sense and revert to the old crest. The fans didn't want this change.

I understand the need to simplify but this is a step too far. Far too boring, doesn't scream Saints and looks like something a school pupil would do as part of a project.

It's dreadful. Rework the crest to include green black and gold and a couple of stylised Saints figures

Gonna be controversial here, but I actually quite like it. Not perfect - if anything it's too simplified - but I do prefer it to the old, overly complicated and not especially relevant crest. The modern requirements of a logo in a digital age need it to be simpler than the previous version. It has to work in every scale, on every background, in mono as well as in full colour etc. etc. I like the reasoning behind using the cross, and the greater emphasis on the black, green and gold. I get that some fans are upset because the old logo has an emotional attachment, but objectively it was terrible. Give it time, and this logo will gain the emotional attachment as well, and it's way more versatile and memorable. My only (personal) gripes are that I'm not sure it works well enough at a very large scale; the 1880 is a bit disconnected in the middle; and the cross is a bit too simplistic - an actual cross of St. James might have worked better (and been just as memorable and iconic a motif to use in the future). All in all though, I think a change was necessary and this is an improvement, albeit not a perfect one. I'm definitely at least prepared to give it time to see how it gets rolled out into full usage, and realistic enough to know that it ain't gonna change anyway, no matter what voices on the internet say, so we're gonna have to get used to it anyway... :D

Still say it looks like a daffodil.

Please, go back. There's still time.

How did you think this was going to go? It’s awful and you surely must know that, give the fans the vote and we’ll get rid of it, ta x

Terrible 😖

what the hell is this?

It’s awful - no thought, no proper consultation, please please tell me this isn’t going to happen. If it is we’ve been poorly served

well.... that sucks.... why?? WHY!!!!!!! all the supporters i have talked to never got asked!!! what a load of waffle!!! i will not be owning a shirt with that emblem on!!

It's awful . Well done pissing your supporters off .

I’m hoping this is a joke, it’s embarrassing, have seen some alternative designs on forums and they are much better than this.

April 1st??

Oh jeez, will be making sure to treasure my old jerseys, clearly won't be buying a new one!

This is beyond awful. I'm spending nothing in the club shop until the decision is reversed. Absolutely nothing wrong with the old badge.

Oh dear……..

Probably cheaper to embroider / print on to shirts etc. Not sure how being progressive is to go back to the original cross. Shame.

Darbon has thrown a grenade and legged it, genuinely terrible.

Why?

Which infant school won the “Design a new crest for Northampton Saints” competition?? This is awful! Have you never heard of “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”???

This is awful, please reverse it

It is terrible why change???????

Surely the stickman saint would be a no brainer?
