Saints boss Mallinder: Let's do it for the fans!
Saints must beat Harlequins by more than seven points if they are to book their place in Europe's top-tier tournament next season.

And they must put a stop to that run this weekend.
“We’ve got confidence in the team," Mallinder said. "Over the past month or so we’ve been playing some good rugby.
“It was a little bit of a backward step last Saturday, but hopefully the fans will get behind us and realise it’s a big game.
“The supporters will want top-level European rugby next year and hopefully we can do it for them.”
