Northampton facing huge test against Ulster

PAUL GRAYSON last night assessed Northampton’s make-or-break Heineken Cup clash against Ulster in Belfast and admitted: “It is going to be incredibly difficult.”

Saints must avoid defeat at Ravenhill next Friday night to guarantee themselves a prized quarter-final place.

They are just one point away from reaching the last eight, edging tantalisingly close following their stirring 17-14 Franklin's Gardens victory over French champions Biarritz.
