Northampton, defeated earlier this season by today's visitors, take on a strong Coventry side who can call on the services of three of last Saturday's England three-quarter line. Great English internationals of the past such as Jeeps, Butterfield, and White have all worn the Northampton jersey; and what Scotsman - or Englishman, for that matter - will ever forget Andy Hancock's superb last-minute try to foil Scotland in the Calcutta Cup at Twickenham in 1965. The present Northampton side is also a force to be reckoned with. On the first of this month they provided no fewer than eleven players for the East Midlands in the county match against Cornwall, and three of their current side appeared for England last week in Dublin.

A series of highly personal films
Marjorie Proops says "Romance Is Dead - Long Live Romance"

Romance stopped being romantic when they all started calling it sex.
Women are no longer treated as the gentle sex; chivalry is old hat; it's 'Happy now - to hell with ever after.' Marjorie Proops, Britain's best-known woman columnist, lays bare our unromantic age, and yet she believes that deep down there's a bit of romance left in all of us.
