Players to bid farewell to Saints

Northampton

Three Northampton Saints players will play their final game for the club in Saturday's National League One clash with Launceston.

Scrum-half Mark Robinson, flanker Darren Fox and back-row Paul Tupai are set to start at Franklin's Gardens.

Fox's appearance will leave him one short of 150 games for the Saints, and it is unclear where his future lies.

Meanwhile, Robinson is set for a move to London Wasps, whilst Tupai is bound for Bedford.

Scrum-half Johnny Howard and lock Christian Short have already left to play in France, while flanker Karl Rudzki and prop Simon Emms will be leaving at the end of the season.

It was also announced this week that prop Chris Budgen will join Exeter Chiefs.

But the futures of lock Damien Browne and prop Tom Smith still have not been decided.
