Let the Saints be canonised again. A decade on from their last Premiership triumph, Northampton are champions of England once more, Courtney Lawes hoisting the trophy aloft before heading to France with one last special Twickenham memory to savour.
Lawes bids adieu after 17 years of sterling service that have seen him evolve from a lithe lock into the most complete blindside flanker in the world. This was a farewell said in fitting fashion to a legend of club and country.
