Mako wants to turn up noise
MAKO VUNIPOLA wants Saracens back in full voice as they bid to get their season back on track at Northampton.
Saracens have riled Saints in the past when singing their team song – Tiki Tiki Tonga – while celebrating wins at Franklin’s Gardens and Vunipola is keen to hit the high notes this afternoon.
The England prop was part of the Saracens team that lost their European crown when they were knocked out of the Champions Cup by Leinster last Sunday.
Sarries have only the Premiership title to play for and they are almost certain of a play-off spot but are desperate to land a home semi-final. Vunipola said: “We started singing our song when we won and it didn’t go down well when we played them at their place and beat them quite convincingly. ” Bath host Leicester in ‘The Clash’ at Twickenham boosted by the return of Springbok Francois Louw after three months out with a knee injury. A TRY from Marland Yarde after 11 minutes of added time snatched a 28-27 win for Sale over Wasps last night. Wasps were leading when James Haskell was sin-binned late on and could not hold on. even if he manages to post the quickest time in qualifying today.
Mercedes said: “We had a hydraulic leak in Melbourne and were fortunate to finish the race. We couldn’t repair the box within the six-race cycle so need to take a fresh one, incurring the penalty.”
RED BULL boss Christian Horner has urged the sport’s rulers to push through their “ambitious” plans, which include a £106m cost cap, a cheaper, simpler engine and the redistribution of the prize pot.
