Mallinder looking forward to final
Northampton director of rugby Jim Mallinder looked forward to next Sunday's LV= Cup final against Gloucester after seeing his team sink Saracens in the last four yesterday.
Saints ran in four tries in their 31-20 win- the first in the fifth minute by Phil Dowson and three more after the break through Brian Mujati, Paul Diggin and Neil Best - to set up a a date with the Cherry and Whites at Worcester's Sixways Stadium.
Northampton are second in the Guinness Premiership, five places and 20 points ahead of their opponents next weekend, but Mallinder insists a cup success for his club is no gimme.
"It's going to be a hard game," he said.
"They have improved massively since the start of the season and they will go in fancying themselves to beat us."
