WATCH: Northampton embarrass Gloucester with easiest end-to-end try in 90-point thrashing
The Saints ran in 14 unanswered tries in the Gallagher Premiership clash, which they won 90-nil.
While playing for the Barbarians this week, Justin Marshall has outlined his thoughts about an Anzac equivalent of a British Islands tour. Robbie Deans supported the concept and added the potential of adding South Africa to the mix.
Personally, given how precious South Africa are regarding the Currie Cup and the pile of existing international matches, I would be okay with leaving them out.
I agree with Justin Marshall that there would be considerable interest in a team of this variety heading up to play the Northern Hemisphere teams.
However, I would like to see a Southern Hemisphere equivalent of the British Lions, which includes Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and Japan.
There would be considerable commercial value for all nations involved in the tours and I think the players would really enjoy it as another step up and reward for excellence.
The only issue would be timing.
With Australia and New Zealand doing spring tours to the Northern Hemisphere, where would these games fit in?
If it could squeeze into the international rugby calendar, what a sensational event it would be.
