GUEST COACHES: DYLAN HARTLEY & LOUIS PICAMOLES
Hartley (#1808) made his senior debut in 2005 and went on to make 251 appearances for his Club and 97 for England – 30 of which were as captain.
In 2009 at just 23 years old, Hartley became the youngest Premiership skipper and his first six-year stint leading the side was not only the longest in Northampton’s 130-year history, but also heralded Saints’ most-successful ever period.
Under the hooker’s leadership, the men in Black, Green and Gold embarked on an incredible run that saw them win the Premiership title, two European Challenge Cups, and an Anglo-Welsh Cup to boot – not to mention reaching separate Premiership and Heineken Cup finals.
Former France international Picamoles (#1967) joined Saints in 2016, helping to secure a place in Europe’s top competition on his final appearance against Stade Francais in a European Champions Cup play-off victory.
The former Toulouse No.8’s three-year deal at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens was cut short when Montpellier paid a significant transfer fee to see him return to France. But the Frenchman, capped 82 times by Les Bleus, still left a lasting impression on supporters with his powerful ball carrying and offloading ability. Picamoles finished his playing career with two years in Bordeaux, announcing his retirement in 2022.
