Dylan Hartley dreaming of more trophies at Northampton

Saints, who start their season against Gloucester on Friday, beat Saracens in May to win the title after suffering heartbreak 12 months earlier against Leicester


England hooker Hartley says they want to emulate Wasps and Leicester – the only clubs to retain their title.


He said: We lost in the final the year before and semi-finals three years in a row, so we have had so much heart, there was so much relief it was a bit of a monkey off our backs.


“But you have got to look at what it took. A last minute try against Leicester and then a 100th minute try in the final so it doesn’t happen easily.


“Now what we have got to is repeat that and go again. Not too many teams have defended their title so that is a major challenge,” he said.
