Wilson leaves tickets for ‘enemy’ at Saints’ gates

ROGER WILSON has been busy arranging tickets for family and friends for the Heineken Cup quarter-final between his Northampton Saints and Ulster at stadium:mk on Sunday week, even though the recipients are likely to be supporting the visitors.

But the Belfast-born Irish international doesn’t mind that because he has finally got his wish — a clash with his former club on a very big stage.

After six years in the back row at Ravenhill, Wilson took the big decision to move to England and join a Saints side that had only just re-emerged from the First Division. But since then there has been no looking back for the powerhouse number eight, who has become ‘Mr Consistency’ at Franklin’s Gardens.
