Lawes confident Saints can keep winning habit

COURTNEY Lawes believes Northampton Saints are finally up and running after a slow start to the new season and have the momentum to continue their winning ways in their Heineken Cup opener against Munster in Limerick on Saturday evening.

The England lock was one of the stars of the show for Northampton on Sunday as they racked up a fifth win in-a-row with an English Premiership win away at London Wasps at High Wycombe which included a try apiece in the second half from props Soane Tonga’uiha and Brian Mujati.

After a poor start to the campaign, in which Jim Mallinder’s side lost four of their first five matches, the Saints, with their full complement of World Cup players back in harness, turned on the power in the second half at Adams Park to score a 24-13 win and move up to sixth in the table, just a point off the top four.
