Saints coach Jim Mallinder is confident Northampton can come away from Munster with the win that would send them through to the Heineken Cup quarter-finals at Thomond Park on Friday night.

Irishmen Neil Best, Roger Wilson and John Downey will start for Northampton Saints against Connacht in the European Challenge Cup quarter-finals at Franklin Gardens on Saturday.

ROGER WILSON aims to make up for lost time when Ulster face a tough Heineken Cup re-match with Saracens at Vicarage Road at lunchtime today.

Ireland international Shane Byrne will be at hooker when Saracens make the difficult trip to meet in-form Ulster at Ravenhill tomorrow night.
