Great to see Williams back from injury. Fascinated to see how he's developed with a year in the Championship.

Me too, but I'm pretty sure he was injured for most of that time so he didn't really have a year in the Championship really.

After their opening day humbling Saints have looked good but Irish need to show that they can win at home ... could be an interesting one.

Good start for Saints, 2 tries in the first 10 mins from Groom and Horne. Irish seem to have settled a bit now though

Some terrible defence from Saints for Irish's first try through Lewington

Looks like Burrell has done something nasty to his knee. After this start he has had to the season, that is a real shame as he is back to his best for the last few games.
