The 2018/19 season was one of huge progress for Northampton Saints and over the next few weeks we’ll look back fondly at what proved to be a memorable campaign.
Today you can join us in the opening part of our recap – first up, a look back to where it all started this term for the men in Black, Green and Gold with the month of September...
First things first, our New Era started at Kingsholm.
