Northampton’s director of rugby, Jim Mallinder, believes his squad can still win the Premiership but has confessed to enduring sleepless nights as he seeks Authentic Blake Bortles Youth Jersey to resurrect Saints as genuine title challengers. He also acknowledges his side cannot afford another limp display against their local rivals Leicesteron Saturday having shipped nine tries in their opener against Saracens.Under Mallinder, Saints were crowned champions in 2014 but finished seventh last season, losing four of their last five league games, and were hammered 55-24 by Saracens at Twickenham last weekend. Supporters are growing impatient and another defeat to the Tigers, who lost at home to Bath on the opening weekend, would scarcely improve the mood.
“There are various issues and fans are not happy but that is the sport we live in,” said Mallinder, who has been in charge at Franklin’s Gardens for a decade. “I won’t deny last Saturday’s game did not worry me – I would be stupid to say that – but I think we have got a good squad which can get into that top four and win  silverware.“It has been a difficult week. It should be after a performance like that. We were terrible. It is hard to put your finger on it. Preparation went well and we played some really good rugby in our pre-season http://www.jaguarsofficialshop.com/authentic-blake-bortles-jersey.html games. The week leading up to it went well – then suddenly we were hit and we came off a poor second.
“Professional rugby is all about winning and if you are not winning then the pressure comes on you. We are aware of that but that is why we are all involved. We like that challenge. There is a bit of madness in it. It does stop you sleeping at night … but if I didn’t like that challenge I would have stayed being a teacher.”Mallinder has responded by making five changes, with the Australia centre Rob Horne making his debut and George North and Teimana Harrison returning. “I will be so disappointed if the players don’t react,” said Mallinder. “Leicester focuses your mind without a doubt but we need, and we will see, a reaction.“I have been involved in 20-odd derbies and you never get a dull game. I am really looking forward to it. I can’t worry about what the fans are thinking. We know it is going to be difficult and there are no guarantees.
“You do look back and think: ‘Why were we successful [in 2014]? Why are we not doing quite Authentic Michael Brantley Womens Jersey as well at the moment?’ Looking at our squad, and the new people we have brought in, we have got that firepower.”The flanker Tom Wood is out with a shoulder problem but has called on Saints to show some “blood and guts” and respond forcefully to their Saracens disappointment. “There’s got to be some of that because I think we lacked that last weekend,” he said. “There does have to be some blood and guts about it. There always is with Leicester derbies so hopefully we won’t be found wanting there. It’s got to be a concerted team effort, everybody can’t just go crazy and start beating their chests.“Defence has been a big focus this week because our defence was woeful. Leicester will be wounded as well. If an east Midlands derby needed any extra edge it’s going to have it this weekend, I’d imagine. It is painful to be where we are now knowing what the good times feel like. We’ve had no choice but to have a hard look at ourselves, look each other in the eye and say: ‘That’s the last time that happens.’”.
Saracens have included the Wales and Lions back Liam Williams on the bench for their game at Bath on Saturday while Marcus Watson, brother of Anthony, makes a first league start for Wasps at Worcester on Sunday in place of Christian Wade, who has a hamstring injury.Steve Diamond’s men played the better rugby in the opening period but a combination of the visitors’ stubborn resistance and their own frailties at the lineout meant http://www.authenticclevelandindians.com/Michael-Brantley-Jersey Sale went into the break with only a 3-0 advantage courtesy of fly-half AJ MacGinty’s penalty.
Sonatane Takulua hit back for Newcastle at the start of the second half, and MacGinty and Takulua then traded three-pointers. Sale soon moved into a 12-6 lead via the boot of their stand-off, but there was a late sting in the tail when referee Andrew Jackson awarded Newcastle a penalty try Captain Will Addison was the early spark, sprinting fully 60 metres before offloading to Byron McGuigan to scurry clear.
Although the wing was brought to ground, several phases later McGuigan picked up the ball again and appeared to have touched down, only for the television match official to rule otherwise.If the precise figures are not readily available the suspicion is that Broad himself could reveal chapter and verse.
