LET’S F*****G GO! Twickenham here we come babyyyyyy. What a match 😇💚🖤💛

[Jess Kebbell @JessKebbell]

The final weekend of the regular Prem season is gonna be a hell of a thing with all to play for in the top four (except Saints, who have secured top already 😇).

[Jess Kebbell @JessKebbell]

Absolutely incredible. One of, if not the, game of the season. Was genuinely screaming at the TV with joy as they ran that final try in. What a comeback.

Bloody hell we had to work hard for that. Fair play to Gloucester. Home semi-final here we come though 😇💚🖤💛

@RugbyBath Confused by ‘no mitigation’ - Dunn has clearly gone into the contact bent at the waist with a knee almost on the floor. Felt like a yellow seemed apt for that.

[Jess Kebbell @JessKebbell]

@Burnagerugby4s I mean Newcastle have made a huge amount of new signings, so they’re an interesting prospect moving forward. Gloucester have brought in Boyd and are already seeing some of the benefits. Next season does have the makings of being closer, but we’ll have to see!

[Jess Kebbell @JessKebbell]

Sure, objectively last night’s score isn’t good for the Prem. But it’s a shame to see people go straight to whining about it, and a lot of it from fans of a particular club. For now I’m watching the game back enjoying attacking rugby so good I don’t think anyone could stop it 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Jess Kebbell @JessKebbell]

@Burnagerugby4s But agree there’s certainly a gulf between those 5, and then Bristol, Sale, Gloucester, Quins, Newcastle. But some of those teams can come good next season.

[Jess Kebbell @JessKebbell]

@Burnagerugby4s I don’t know, I think Saints put in some huge defensive shifts that first half to keep them to two scores. It’s very hard, if not impossible, to keep your foot on the gas when you have a 50+ lead. Contextually I wouldn’t say it’s horrendous defence honestly. We’ve been worse.

[Jess Kebbell @JessKebbell]

@Burnagerugby4s With Bristol, it’s been a recurring issue for them for the past few seasons, not just this one. I’d say there are 5 clubs ahead of the rest (the top 4 and then Saracens on current form), and then a huge gulf to the rest. A shame certainly, but I’m still going to enjoy our attack.

[Jess Kebbell @JessKebbell]

@thepaulwilliams You’re not being really stupid, it’s a very bizarre reasoning. Bristol went as strong as they had considering injuries, which is still a strong side. They looked up for it going in and were still very much in the playoff hunt. They just could not put up with Saints on the night.

[Jess Kebbell @JessKebbell]

Just witnessed magic in real life. Was expecting a reaction from @SaintsRugby after last week, but that was beyond my wildest dreams. Hell of a way to finally get a victory over Bristol. When this team clicks, they are unstoppable 😇💚🖤💛

[Jess Kebbell @JessKebbell]

Shame to see fans of other English clubs seemingly wanting Bath to lose. I’m no big fan of theirs, but was absolutely pulling for them to win. Some definite controversial decisions going against them, but Bordeaux were the better team on the day. Great game overall.

[Jess Kebbell @JessKebbell]

Say what you want about the commentary on this game (it’s not good), but they’re bang on about the farcical nature of French TV directors essentially deciding games. Been an issue for a decade at this point, wild that something has not been done about this sooner.

[Jess Kebbell @JessKebbell]

I can admit Saints played pretty horrendously in that second half, but a what a bloody good game of rugby. Still top 😇💚🖤💛

[Northampton Saints 😇 @SaintsRugby]

Pinching another one at the death to increase our lead at the top of the Gallagher PREM 😅

😇 41-38 🛁

[Jess Kebbell @JessKebbell]

Do Sale actually care at this point? This is woeful to watch.

[Northampton Saints 😇 @SaintsRugby]

What a FINish 🖤💚💛

[Jess Kebbell @JessKebbell]

GET IN. Sensational win that. Remaining on top babyyyyy 😇💚🖤💛

[Northampton Saints 😇 @SaintsRugby]

💥 BOOM 💥

⚫ 28-35 😇

[Northampton Saints: Beneath the Lift Tower @SaintsBTLTPod]

A late recording this week due to the bank holiday, but this worked out well as we got to discuss the departure of Furbs to Quins & the return of Lawes to the PREM. We then looked back on the victory over Castres to set up a big European Champions Cup QF away to Bath at the Rec!
