This time, it wasn’t the Saxons players who took the field in front of a sell-out crowd – it was the Saxons mascot, in full, traditional (albeit lightweight) armour.
The Saxons will be hoping for a better performance against their Irish counterparts however, as the mascot fell to an embarrassing defeat at the hands of Leicester Tiger, our very own club mascot.
The two mascots raced across a wet Welford Road pitch at the Heineken Cup match against Toulouse, with Leicester Tiger taking the honours.
Tickets for the England Saxons vs Ireland A fixture – the first international A level match to be played at Welford Road in a decade – are on sale now from the Tigers ticket office.
