Manny Iyogun says Saints have got a point to prove as they return to Gallagher Premiership action on Friday night. The black, green and gold go into the clash with Newcastle Falcons at Kingston Park on the back of back-to-back Investec Champions Cup wins. Victories against Clermont Auvergne and Castres have propelled them into the semi-finals for the second year in succession. And just as they did last year, Saints must travel to Dublin to face Leinster on the first weekend of May.

Phil Dowson says he has no problem with Henry Pollock's try celebrations. And the Saints boss is keen to keep encouraging the hugely talented 20-year-old to keep being himself. Pollock scored twice in the 51-16 Investec Champions Cup quarter-final against Castres as he continued his stunning breakthrough campaign. The back row forward has racked up eight tries in 18 appearances for his club so far this season, while also scoring twice on his England debut in the Six Nations win against Wales.

Phil Dowson admits some 'tough decisions' will have to be made as Saints bid to get the selection balance right ahead of their Investec Champions Cup clash with Leinster in Dublin on May 3. But the black, green and gold boss insists the Gallagher Premiership is now top of the agenda as Saints seek to set the record straight following a stuttering title defence. Dowson's men are currently eighth in the standings and have lost all six of their away Premiership matches so far this season.
