How to benefit from French without tears
- 199
Among the big numbers dogging Northampton Saints over the weekend, do not forget this one: 13,362.
That has been the capacity of Franklin’s Gardens, the Saints’ home ground, since October, and at pretty much every game since then, that is the number of people who have watched their matches: 13,362.
Not an empty seat in the house.
The real scary number on Saturday was 37, which was the number of points that Clermont Auvergne put on Northampton.
Or 32, which was the deficit.
And one.
How come Northampton are the No 1 team in England and yet are getting smashed
