From the start, you'll see what I mean. It would have been simple enough to go for Mick Brown of Harlequins or Ben Foden of Northampton, but the stats show just how valuable Homer is to London Irish. With 278 points from 22 starts and twice coming off... Full Article at Guardian Unlimited

My first senior club was Northampton Saints who I am still registered to today ... The Saints used to play in the Cockspur Cup, who were the former sponsors.

Clearly the lure of international rugby is a strong one for him. He enjoyed his time at Northampton, he enjoyed his time in England. It was a really, really enjoyable conversation. He has some decisions to make of his own.

They showed this ability in last year's final against Northampton. It is a huge strength when you know how vitally important the details are in a Heineken Cup semi-final.
In the first half we didn’t look after the ball enough, we never got to the third or fourth phase and lost it too quickly
People say we’ve now got nothing to lose on Sunday. Rubbish. We’ll all be gutted if we lose against Northampton. These players are ambitious. They want more. Like me. Give me the ‘group of death’ in the Heineken Cup next season. There’s no running away from things here.
I would be lying if I said that playing them doesn’t add to the occasion
If they come down and play well enough to beat us they'll deserve it, but if they come down to Sandy Park and we do the business we'll deserve it. If Northampton win I'll be the first person walk over to Jim Mallinder and say 'Well done and good luck in the semi-final'.
He is physically strong, very competitive and has good leadership skills
If Northampton come to Sandy Park and win I'll be the first person walk over to Jim Mallinder and say 'Well done and good luck in the semi final'.
I was always told I was too small, not fast enough, not powerful enough
Northampton dictated the game against us at their place, and they didn’t get into the Heineken Cup final last season for no reason. We will have our work cut out next week, but as always, we will just stay positive and go and attack the game.
There's a number of players we're looking for
He will be out for a couple of weeks
Saracens, Leicester and Northampton have been up there a long time. We are a team that aspires to do that.
Friday night games at Sixways have been truly special occasions this season and the team have responded to the atmosphere and support with victories over Bath Rugby, Northampton Saints and most recently against current league champions Saracens
Northampton Saints will make no further comment about this issue.
As regards the trophy, it’s Leicester v Northampton, it’s the first time we have met in a final in 130-odd years and it’s one that we didn’t want hanging round our necks for losing. We qualify for the Heineken Cup which is a bonus, we get a trophy, everyone can stop asking me whether I am under pressure...
I went to Northampton and met (coach) Dorian West and (director of rugby) Jim Mallinder. They were lovely people and it was a great club
It is tough to move on as I’ve spent so much time at Northampton. I’ve got great friends there and the club have done a lot for me. I just think change is good and if the experience is there to be taken I don’t see why I shouldn’t grab it and try to experience everything. Saracens do things differently....
We have played some good rugby in our past two matches and although we have come up just short in both games, there have been some very good performances from a number of players. We have enjoyed an excellent week of preparation and are really looking forward to the game against a very strong Northampto...
