Rugby: Traynor sure Saints will be sent marching

Kyle Traynor believes Edinburgh Rugby are ready to make it five home Heineken Cup wins in a row when English league leaders Northampton Saints are entertained at Murrayfield on Saturday.

An 18-17 opening defeat at Cardiff at least provided Edinburgh with a bonus point for finishing within a single score and prop forward Traynor insists that with home advantage Edinburgh can get back in the qualification race.

"You always want to be challenging the best and Northampton are currently top of the Aviva Premiership," he said.

The 24-year-old, who will take his European appearances into double figures by being selected, could lock horns with fellow Scotland internationalist Euan Murray, but insists threats exist throughout the Northampton's front row.

"They have guys like Dylan Hartley, Soane Tongauiha, Euan Murray and Brian Mujati and we will have to be on our game to deal with that." Saints beat Castres 18-14 at home in their opening fixture.
